Ingredients
Scale
- 30 ml (1 oz) vodka
- 30 ml (1 oz) coffee liqueur (like Kahlúa)
- 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 for best flavor)
- Ice cubes
For garnish:
- Orange zest or slice
- Whipped cream (optional, for extra indulgence)
Instructions
- Fill a glass with ice cubes. (A rocks glass or an old-fashioned glass works best.)
- Pour in the vodka, coffee liqueur, and orange liqueur.
- Add the fresh orange juice and gently stir.
- Slowly pour the heavy cream over the top for a layered effect or stir for a fully mixed, creamy texture.
- Garnish with an orange slice or a sprinkle of orange zest.
- (Optional) Top with whipped cream for a dessert-like finish.
Notes
- Lighter version? Use half-and-half or milk instead of heavy cream.
- More citrusy? Add an extra splash of orange juice or a few drops of orange bitters.
- Frothy texture? Shake all ingredients with ice in a cocktail shaker before pouring.
- Boozier twist? Try adding a splash of vanilla vodka for extra depth.
