Ingredients

  • 4 oz. (½ cup) freshly brewed coffee (2 parts)
  • 2 oz. (¼ cup) Kahlúa (1 part)
  • 2 oz. (¼ cup) whole milk (1 part)
  • 1 oz. (2 tablespoons) vodka (½ part)
  • whipped cream for topping, optional

Instructions

  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine all ingredients and heat until warm (I recommend 150 to 155°F). Do not boil.
  • Pour into mug(s) and serve immediately, topped with whipped cream, if desired.

Notes

  • To increase: The recipe is written for one drink, with 1 part = ¼ cup. To double the recipe, use ½ cup as a part which will make three 6-ounce servings or two 9-ounce servings (1 cup coffee, ½ cup Kahlúa, ½ cup milk, ¼ cup vodka). Multiply parts as needed to serve your group.
  • Milk choices: If you’re feeling in the mood for decadence, use cream instead of whole milk. Skim milk is not recommended for this recipe.
