image of a White Russian cocktail. The drink is served in an old-fashioned glass filled with ice cubes. It shows distinct layers, with clear vodka at the bottom, a middle layer of dark coffee liqueur, and a top layer of smooth, creamy white heavy cream. The glass is on a wooden bar counter with a cozy, dimly lit bar ambiance in the background. The cocktail is garnished with a few coffee beans on the cream layer, adding an elegant touch.

Notes

Pro Tips

  • Use lots of ice. A full glass chills fast and keeps the drink from getting watery.
  • Pour cream slowly so it floats instead of instantly mixing.
  • Use heavy cream for best texture. Milk works, but cream gives that signature silky feel.
