Notes

  • Vodka - We recommend a high quality vodka since there are only three ingredients in this drink and it will make a big difference.
  • Coffee liqueur - Kahlua is the most popular coffee liqueur and it's made with rum, sugar, vanilla, and coffee.
  • Heavy cream or whole milk - For a creamier, richer drink use the heavy cream - if it's a little too rich try using the whole milk instead.
    • Like I mentioned, heavy cream will make a very rich and creamy drink!
    • Whipping cream is very similar to heavy cream, but just a tad bit lighter in fat than heavy cream, but not by much. If you can't find heavy cream, whipping cream is a good substitute.
    • Half and half, which is half milk and half cream, is a good alternative if you want to cut the richness but still have a creamy feel to your drink.
    • Whole milk has less fat than cream and half and half, so your drink won't be as creamy but will still have a touch of richness.
    • Of course, you can always try 2% milk or even skim milk if you're watching the calories, but the drink won't be the same! I say treat yourself and at least use whole milk - it will be a much better drink!
