Notes

  • You can use hot or cold brewed coffee depending on your preference; hot coffee will slightly melt the ice and blend flavors differently.
  • Adjust the amount of vodka if you prefer a stronger or milder cocktail.
  • For a non-alcoholic version, substitute vodka with milk or a flavored syrup and omit the coffee liqueur.
  • Use fresh whipped cream for the best texture and flavor in the garnish.
  • Sprinkling cinnamon adds warmth, while cocoa powder delivers a subtle chocolate note—choose based on the flavor profile you prefer.
