Ingredients
Scale
Liquor
- 3 oz vanilla vodka
- 3 oz coffee liqueur such as Kahlua
- 1 oz cinnamon whiskey such as Fireball
Other Ingredients
- 3 oz creamer
- Cinnamon sticks (for garnish)
- Ice (for serving)
- Optional: cinnamon sugar for rimming glasses
Instructions
- Rim the glasses (Optional): If desired, moisten the rims of your serving glasses and dip them into cinnamon sugar to create a flavorful, sweet crust.
- Mix the liquors: In a cocktail shaker, combine the vanilla vodka, coffee liqueur, and cinnamon whiskey. Shake vigorously until the ingredients are well blended.
- Pour over ice: Fill two serving glasses with ice and strain the mixed liquor evenly into each glass.
- Add creamer: Pour the creamer on top of the liquor mixture in each glass, providing a creamy contrast to the spiced and coffee flavors.
- Stir and garnish: Gently stir each drink to blend the layers, then garnish with a cinnamon stick. Serve immediately and enjoy your Cinnamon White Russian.
Notes
- Use full-fat creamer for a richer, creamier texture.
- Adjust the amount of cinnamon whiskey to taste for more or less spice.
- For a dairy-free option, substitute the creamer with coconut or almond milk creamer.
- Rimming the glass with cinnamon sugar adds an extra layer of sweetness and aroma but is optional.
