The Dude Recipe

Cocktail

1. 1

   Build and mix

   Fill an old-fashioned (rocks) glass with ice cubes. Pour the vodka over the ice, then add the coffee liqueur.

2. 2

   Cream finish

   Gently pour the heavy cream (or half-and-half) over the back of a spoon so it floats on top, or pour directly and give the drink one gentle stir to create a marbled appearance. If you prefer the cream fully integrated, add the cream to a mixing glass with the vodka and coffee liqueur and stir briefly with ice, then strain back into the glass over fresh ice.

3. 3

   Garnish and serve

   Optionally grate a small pinch of fresh nutmeg over the top and garnish with a single coffee bean or cinnamon stick. Serve immediately with a short straw or stirrer.
