Ingredients
Scale
Spirits and Liqueurs
- 2 oz Vodka
- 1 oz Coffee liqueur (e.g., Kahlúa)
- 1 oz Salted caramel liqueur or caramel syrup
Dairy and Garnishes
- 1 to 2 oz Heavy cream or half-and-half
- Ice cubes
- Caramel drizzle (for garnish)
- Pinch of sea salt (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Glass: Select a sturdy rocks glass and fill it with ice cubes, leaving enough room to add the liquids and cream. The ice chills the drink and keeps it refreshingly cold.
- Add the Spirits: Pour in 2 oz of vodka as the base spirit. Follow with 1 oz of coffee liqueur to add depth and richness. Lastly, add 1 oz of salted caramel liqueur or caramel syrup to bring sweet, buttery, and salty notes to the mix.
- Top with Cream: Gently pour 1 to 2 oz of heavy cream or half-and-half over the drink, depending on your preference for creaminess. This addition softens the sweetness and adds a luxurious texture.
- Stir and Combine: Use a spoon to gently stir the ingredients just enough to blend the flavors without losing the layered look. A few slow swirls will unify the cocktail beautifully.
- Garnish Your Cocktail: Drizzle caramel sauce over the top and sprinkle a pinch of sea salt to enhance the caramel flavor and add an elegant finish. Serve immediately and enjoy your indulgent creation.
Notes

- Experiment with different brands of coffee liqueur to customize the flavor.
- For a lighter version, reduce the cream or substitute with plant-based milk.
- Don’t skip the caramel drizzle and sea salt garnish for an elevated presentation and flavor.
