Ingredients
Scale
- 30 ml (1 oz) vodka
- 30 ml (1 oz) coffee liqueur (like Kahlua)
- 30 ml (1 oz) orange liqueur (like Cointreau or Grand Marnier)
- 60 ml (2 oz) heavy cream or half-and-half
- 30 ml (1 oz) orange juice (freshly squeezed)
- Ice cubes
- Orange zest or slice
- Whipped cream (optional)
Instructions
- Chill Preparation: Select a rocks glass and fill it generously with ice cubes to create a frosty foundation for this creamy cocktail.
- Spirit Blending: Pour vodka, coffee liqueur, and orange liqueur over the ice, allowing the spirits to mingle and create a vibrant base.
- Citrus Infusion: Add fresh orange juice and gently stir to incorporate the bright citrus notes throughout the drink.
- Cream Layering: Delicately float heavy cream over the back of a spoon, creating a luxurious stratified effect or thoroughly blend for a uniform, silky consistency.
- Garnish and Finish: Adorn the cocktail with an orange slice on the rim, optionally sprinkle orange zest across the surface, and crown with a billowing cloud of whipped cream for a decadent dessert-inspired presentation.
Notes
- Chill the Glass Perfectly: Use frosted rocks glass or pre-chill standard glass with ice water for maximum temperature retention and enhanced drinking experience.
- Layering Technique Matters: Pour cream slowly over the back of a spoon to create stunning visual separation between liquids, allowing each ingredient’s distinct color and texture to shine.
- Balance Citrus Intensity: Adjust orange juice quantity based on personal preference – less for subtler flavor, more for pronounced orange profile without overwhelming other ingredients.
- Customize Cream Consistency: Choose between silky blended method or elegant layered approach depending on desired presentation and texture preferences – whipped cream adds luxurious decadent touch for dessert-like experience.
