Instructions
Creating a Chocolate Raspberry White Russian is easy and straightforward. Follow these steps to craft the perfect indulgent cocktail:
Step 1: Begin by chilling a rocks glass or any glass of your choice by filling it with ice. This ensures that your cocktail remains cold when served.
Step 2: In a cocktail shaker, add 2 oz vodka, 1 oz coffee liqueur, 1 tbsp chocolate syrup, and ½ oz raspberry liqueur. The raspberry liqueur adds a fruity element that beautifully complements the richness of the chocolate and coffee flavors.
Step 3: Fill the shaker with ice cubes and shake well for about 15 seconds to properly mix the ingredients and chill the drink.
Step 4: Remove the ice from the chilled glass and strain the cocktail into the glass over fresh ice cubes.
Step 5: Gently pour 1 oz of heavy cream into the glass, letting it float on top of the cocktail for a layered effect. The cream’s richness softens the flavors and gives the drink its signature smooth texture.
Step 6: Garnish the cocktail with chocolate shavings or a drizzle of chocolate syrup, and add a few fresh raspberries on top for a beautiful, vibrant finish.
Notes
✔ Fresh raspberries can be muddled into the cocktail for an extra burst of fruitiness and color.
✔ For a smoother texture, strain the cocktail twice to remove any raspberry seeds or debris.
✔ Experiment with the amount of chocolate syrup to adjust the sweetness level to your liking.
✔ Chill the glass before serving to keep the cocktail cold for longer.
✔ Use premium vodka for a smoother, more refined taste that enhances the overall flavor.
