History

How to Make It
Mind Eraser
These drinks are different from some cocktails in that you don't need a shaker to mix it up. Instead, this smooth drink can be made in stages.
You'll need a glass – preferably a lowball glass – half-filled with ice, a bottle of vodka, Kahlua, or any preferred brand of coffee liqueur, and some soda water.
Ingredients
- 2 Oz Coffee Liqueur
- 2 Oz Vodka
- Splash Club Soda
Instructions
- Pour a double shot of coffee liqueur over the ice. You can add as much ice as you prefer – just remember that this will water your drink down!
- Add your double shot of vodka. If you pour gently and slowly, the dark coffee liqueur should stay at the bottom of your glass creating a smart, layered look.
- Add just a splash of soda water to give it some fizz. If you're using a soda water gun, hold your thumb down on the button for two seconds. This should be enough to mix the drink slightly but not to break up the layers.
- Serve with a short straw and enjoy! If made properly and sipped through a straw, you should be able to taste the separate layers of flavor as they meld together.
Variations
There are numerous variations of the Mind Eraser drink, as it is quite similar to other popular cocktails like the Black Russian or the White Russian. Here are a few variations that you can try out:
Colorado Bulldog
This variation is made by combining equal parts vodka, Kahlua, and cream in a shaker with ice. The mixture is then strained into a rocks glass filled with ice and topped with cola. It is a creamier and sweeter version of the Mind Eraser.
Black Magic
This is a stronger version of the Mind Eraser, which is made by adding a shot of dark rum to the original recipe. The dark rum adds a rich flavor to the drink, making it perfect for those who prefer their drinks on the stronger side.
White Mind Eraser
This variation is made by replacing the coffee liqueur with white chocolate liqueur. The drink is then layered with vodka and club soda, just like the original recipe. It is a sweeter and creamier version of the Mind Eraser.
Mind Eraser shot
If you prefer shots over cocktails, you can make a Mind Eraser shot by combining equal parts coffee liqueur, vodka, and club soda in a shot glass. It is a quick and easy way to enjoy the flavors of the Mind Eraser without having to sip on a cocktail.
