Cinnamon Roll White Russian
This Cinnamon Roll White Russian is like sweets in a glass, you guys. It tastes like you just bit into a gooey, fresh-from-the-oven cinnamon roll, and it’s creamy and warm.
It’s a fun, grown-up version of the classic White Russian that you can enjoy by the fire or show off to your pals at brunch.
Let’s get started!
Ingredients
- 1 ounce of vodka
- 1 ounce of coffee liqueur, such as Kahlúa
- 2 ounces of heavy cream (or milk for a lighter choice)
- ½ teaspoon of ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon of simple syrup (or more, to taste)
- Ice
- Optional toppings: whipped cream, cinnamon sugar, and a stick of cinnamon
Equipment
- Shaker for cocktails or a mixing glass
- Measuring jigger
- Spoon for the bar
- A short glass for cocktails
- Ice scoop
Instructions
- Get your glass ready.
Put ice cubes in your cocktail glass. - Combine the alcohol.
Put vodka and coffee liqueur in a shaker or mixing glass and shake them together. - Prepare the cream with cinnamon.
In a small dish or pitcher, mix together the heavy cream, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and simple syrup until the mixture is smooth.
- Put the cream in layers.
To get that classic layered effect, pour the cinnamon cream over the back of a spoon into the glass. - Add a garnish and serve.
Put whipped cream, cinnamon sugar, and a cinnamon stick on top. Enjoy right away!
Tips & Tricks
- Cool off your glass. A icy glass makes the drink taste better and keeps it cooler for longer.
- Whisk the cream together. To get the real “cinnamon roll” taste, mix the cream with cinnamon and vanilla.
- Change the sweetness. If you want it to be sweeter, add extra simple syrup. Don’t be bashful!
- You need whipped cream. It’s like the icing on a cinnamon roll, and it makes the drink taste even better.
- Layer like a pro. To obtain that pretty swirl effect, pour the cream over a spoon.
Variations
- No vodka? Change it out for spiced rum or bourbon for a fun twist.
- If you don’t want to use dairy, use almond or oat milk and whisk coconut cream for the topping.
- To add more cinnamon flavor, put a tiny bit of cinnamon into the vodka and coffee liqueur mix.
- For a sweeter version, add caramel syrup on top or use vanilla vodka.
Serving Suggestions
Fresh is the best way to drink this. Mix the vodka and coffee liqueur ahead of time and keep it in the fridge. Just before serving, add the cream and decorations.
That’s it! Your Cinnamon Roll White Russian is ready to wow! It’s sweet, creamy, and great for when you want to treat yourself to something in a glass. I’d love to hear how yours turned out. Please leave a comment and let me know! Thanks! 🥂
