White Russian

Method

1. I

   Fill a cocktail shaker with ice then pour the vodka and coffee liqueur into the shaker.

2. II

   A ‘wet shake’ (with ice) is required here to combine the ingredients. Shake vigorously for 8-10 seconds. This will ensure the drink has a lovely smooth texture.

3. III

   Using a fine mesh strainer, pour the mixture into a rocks glass over fresh ice. If you don’t have a strainer, any kitchen sieve will work just as well.

4. IV

   Float the cream on the top of the drink by gently pouring it over the back of a spoon.
