Equipment
- Mixing Glass
- Strainer
Ingredients
- 2 ounces Vodka
- 1 ounce Kahlúa Coffee Liqueur
Instructions
- Pour the vodka and Kahlúa into a mixing glass with ice. Stir the mixture together.
- Place a strainer over the glass and strain the cocktail into a rock glass filled with fresh ice. Garnish with a cherry.
Notes
- Change up the flavor. You don't have to alter the drink entirely to change it up. Simply choose a flavored vodka such as vanilla or orange. There are also optional flavors of coffee liqueur such as vanilla and salted caramel that will add an additional sweetness to the drink.
- Add orange bitters. Swirl in some orange bitters for a citrusy and earthy flavor that pairs well with the Kahlúa and vodka.
- Try a Black Russian with coke. Once you've mixed your cocktail pour a splash of Coke on top for a delicious spin on the classic drink.
- Make it into a White Russian or a Mudslide. For a White Russian just add some cream or milk on top and for a Mudslide, a splash of Bailey's is all you need.
