Ingredients

To Rim Glass (Optional):

  • ¼ cup white chocolate, melted

For Cocktail:

  • 1 ounce vodka
  • 1 ounce white chocolate liqueur (or white crème de cacao)
  • 1 ounce coffee liqueur (such as Kahlúa)
  • 1 ounce Irish cream liqueur (such as Bailey's)
  • 1 ounce half-and-half

Instructions

To rim the glass:

  • Pour the melted chocolate into a shallow bowl. Dip the edge of a rocks glass into the melted white chocolate about ¼ -inch. Chill until ready to use. You should be able to dip 3 to 4 glasses.
    ¼ cup white chocolate, melted

To make the cocktail:

  • Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add the vodka, white chocolate liquor, coffee liquor, Irish cream liqueur, and half-and-half.
    1 ounce vodka, 1 ounce white chocolate liqueur, 1 ounce coffee liqueur, 1 ounce Irish cream liqueur, 1 ounce half-and-half
  • Shake until chilled, about 30 seconds. Strain into the white chocolate rimmed rocks glass. You can serve the cocktail over ice if preferred (as pictured). Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Variations: Lighten it up or make it richer, using milk or heavy cream instead of half-and-half.
  • Skip the shaker. If you like the idea of a classic white Russian which is not shaken, simply pour each ingredient, one at a time, over ice. It will naturally form layers. Usually the bottom layer is coffee liqueur, then vodka, and cream on top.
  • Serving a crowd: To make a batch of cocktails, combine the ingredients in a large container ahead of time. Pour 5 ounces of the mixture into the cocktail shaker, and shake each cocktail separately, or pour 5 ounces over ice in individual glasses. If the cocktail is stored separately from the ice, it will keep in a covered container for at least a few days.
