My mom, sister and I are all serious coffee lovers, thus coffee liqueur is right up our alley! I decided to try my hand at making some for us to drink over New Years. It came out sweet and a little syrupy. As decadent as it was on it’s own, we still wanted to try it in a cocktail. My first thought was to make a White Russian. We had cream, but the only vodka was my Absolut Peppar (I like it in my Spicy Bloody Mary’s.) That wasn’t going to work, so we dug a little deeper in the liquor cabinet, and found a bottle of Sambuca. Hmmmm, maybe we could substitute the vodka for that? We tested it out and “Surprise!”, we loved it! My sister, my mom and I drank them all weekend; we were hooked! Try it out, and tell me what you think. I’d love to hear your opinion!
Ingredients:
2 oz. Coffee Liqueur
2 oz. Heavy Cream
Splash of Sambuca
Ice
Rocks glass
Directions:
Fill rocks glass 3/4 full of ice. Poor two ounces each coffee liqueur and heavy cream. Add a splash of Sambuca, stir and enjoy.
- Things may look a little sideways.
Make it Fabulously Fancy!
Wet rim of martini glass and invert in dish of instant cappuccino powder. (I like Hill’s Bros. Toffee.) Place all of the ingredients in a shaker. Dance around shaking hips and shaker vigorously. (That is a very important step in order to make the drink more enjoyable.) Strain into martini glass. Enjoy at your own risk, and don’t blame me if you get hooked!
