There’s something timeless about a Black Russian cocktail. For me, it brings back fond memories of late nights spent with friends, enjoying the simple pleasures in life. Its rich, smooth flavor profile makes it perfect for anyone looking to indulge in a classic vodka cocktail.
- 1 1/2 oz Vodka,
- 3/4 oz Coffee liqueur,
- Ice cubes,
- Cherry for garnish (optional),
Start by ensuring you have all your ingredients ready – vodka, coffee liqueur, ice cubes, and if desired, a cherry for garnish.
Fill a short glass with ice cubes to the brim. This will chill the drink and ensure it stays cold.
Pour 1 1/2 oz of vodka and 3/4 oz of coffee liqueur over the ice. The exact measurements are key to achieving the perfect balance of flavors.
Stir the ingredients together gently but thoroughly to ensure the drink is well-mixed. This will help the flavors to meld beautifully.
Garnish with a cherry on top if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy the rich, velvety flavors of your Black Russian cocktail.
