Method

Cocktail

  1. 1

    Prepare glass

    Place 4 standard ice cubes into an old-fashioned (rocks) glass. Use clear large cubes if available to slow dilution.

  2. 2

    Add spirits

    Pour 2 fl oz vodka over the ice, then add 1 fl oz Kahlúa.

  3. 3

    Top with milk

    Slowly pour 1 fl oz whole milk over the back of a spoon just above the surface to create a layered look. Alternatively, pour directly and stir gently for a unified drink.

  4. 4

    Finish and serve

    Optionally float 2 coffee beans on top as a garnish. Serve immediately with a short stirring spoon so the drinker can mix to taste.
