Instructions
White Russian
- Fill a rocks or old-fashioned glass halfway with ice.
- Pour in the Kahlúa and your choice of vodka.
- Top with a single shot of heavy cream. This will give you the signature look of this classic Kahlúa drink, with the dark liqueur resting beneath a pillowy cloud of cream on top.
Black Russian
- Fill a rocks glass with ice, or a large, cocktail ice cube.
- Pour in the vodka and Kahlúa. A little swish with a cocktail stirrer wouldn't be out of line. Garnish with a dark cherry (or any cherry you have on hand).
Mudslide
- Combine all the vodka and liqueurs in a cocktail shaker with ample ice.
- Shake until it frosts over, and strain the drink into an ice-filled rocks glass.
- Garnish with chocolate shavings or chocolate espresso beans.
Frozen Mudslide
- Drizzle chocolate syrup or homemade chocolate sauce around the inside of your hurricane glass or large drinking glass.
- Blend the first five ingredients until smooth.
- Pour into the prepared glass. Garnish with chocolate shavings, whipped cream, or perhaps a chocolate-covered espresso bean, or three.
Colorado Bulldog
- Fill a cocktail shaker with a couple of handfuls of ice.
- Add ice to your glass, filling it about halfway.
- Add the Kahlúa, vodka, and heavy cream, place the lid on, and shake until it frosts over.
- Strain the drink into a rocks glass filled with ice, and top off the remaining room left in the glass with cola.
B-52
- Pour the Kahlúa into a shot glass.
- Slowly pour the Irish cream over the back of a spoon to float it on top of the Kahlúa.
- Repeat with the Grand Marnier as the final layer.
- Serve without stirring; the layers form the signature look of the shot.
Notes
For Dairy-Free
If you eat a dairy-free diet, any plant-based milk will be just as delicious. Pure coconut cream is especially indulgent, and lightly sweetened almond milk also pairs well. Friendly reminder, however, that Kahlúa is not vegan. Irish Cream does, as in the name, contain dairy.
