Ingredients
To make a single serving of Chocolate Raspberry White Russian, you’ll need: 1.5 oz (45 ml) vodka – A smooth, high-quality vodka ensures a well-balanced drink. 1 oz (30 ml) coffee liqueur (e.g., Kahlúa) – Provides the signature coffee flavor. ¾ oz (22 ml) raspberry liqueur (e.g., Chambord) – Adds a fruity tartness that balances the sweetness. ½ oz (15 ml) chocolate syrup – Gives the cocktail a rich, chocolatey base. 1 oz (30 ml) heavy cream or half-and-half – Creates the signature creamy texture. Ice cubes – To chill the drink. Garnishes: Fresh raspberries, chocolate shavings, a drizzle of chocolate syrup, or cocoa powder.
Optional Enhancements:
Chocolate-infused vodka – Intensifies the chocolate flavor. White chocolate liqueur – For a sweeter, creamier variation. Espresso shot (½ oz) – For a bolder coffee kick.
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Glass
Drizzle chocolate syrup inside a rocks glass in a decorative swirl or zigzag pattern. This not only enhances the flavor but also adds a visually appealing touch.
Step 2: Fill with Ice
Add ice cubes to the glass until it is about three-quarters full.
Step 3: Add Vodka and Liqueurs
Pour the vodka, coffee liqueur, and raspberry liqueur over the ice. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.
Step 4: Float the Cream
Slowly pour the heavy cream over the back of a spoon to create a layered effect. Let it naturally mix into the drink, or stir lightly for a more blended consistency.
Step 5: Garnish and Serve
Garnish with fresh raspberries, chocolate shavings, or a dusting of cocoa powder. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
Use high-quality vodka to ensure a smoother drink. Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of chocolate syrup and raspberry liqueur. Shake the cream slightly before pouring to create a richer texture. For a layered effect, pour the cream slowly over the back of a spoon.
