Tips for a perfect Cookie Butter White Russian
- Melt the butter for the cookies. Put it in the microwave for around 10 seconds to make sure it combines well with the drink.
- Use smashed cookies to line the edge of the glass. First, dip the rim in melted cookie butter to make sure the crumbs cling.
- Cool down your glass. A cool glass keeps the drink cold and makes it feel elegant.
- Do it like a pro. To produce those lovely swirls, pour the cream over the back of a spoon.
- Don’t forget the garnish. The full cookie on top makes it taste like a real dessert drink!
Variations
- If you don’t want dairy, use oat milk or coconut milk and top with whipped coconut cream.
- For more cookie taste, add 1/2 ounce of vanilla or cinnamon syrup.
- If you want it to be stronger, use bourbon instead of vodka or add a splash of caramel liqueur.
- For a sweeter variation, drizzle caramel sauce inside the glass before you pour the drink.
Serving Suggestions
It’s preferable to sip this cocktail fresh, but you may mix the vodka, coffee liqueur, and melted cookie butter ahead of time and keep it in the fridge. When you’re ready to serve, add the ice and cream.
