Description
Think of the White Russian as the ultimate adult milkshake, sweet, spiked, and perfect for holiday sipping. To the usual vodka and coffee liqueur, this version adds in Amaro Averna — a bittersweet herbal Italian liqueur — for a more nuanced and less sweet drink than the classic. The half-and-half lightens up the drink compared to typical versions of the recipe, but if you are looking for something creamier and more decadent, sub in heavy whipping cream. The recipe is a Yummly original created by Brittany Conerly.
Ingredients
- 6 oz. vodka
- 3 oz. coffee liqueur (such as Patron XO Cafe Tequila or Kahlúa)
- 2 oz. liqueur (Amaro Averna, or another amaro such as Montenegro or Cynar)
- ice cubes
- 4 oz. half-and-half (or heavy whipping cream)
Directions
- Combine vodka, coffee liqueur, and amaro liqueur in a pitcher. Divide mixture between 4 old-fashioned glasses and fill them with ice. Give each glass a good stir. Then slowly pour in half-and-half over the back of a spoon into each glass to create a swirl.
