Ingredients

ice
2 ounces vodka
2 ounces Kahlúa
2 ounces heavy cream or half n half

Instructions

Fill an Old Fashioned glass with ice.
Pour one part vodka, one part Kahlúa and one part heavy cream (slowly) into glass. Do not mix. If desired serve with cocktail stirrers.

Notes

These drinks are best not prepared ahead of time. The ice will melt and presentation of the billowing cream will not be there.
I use the square ice cubes with all of my cocktails. It looks so much better and isn't presentation everything.
Kahlúa is a coffee flavored liqueur from Mexico. It can be found in the liqueur section of most local grocery stores.
When mixing the cocktails pour the cream slowly.
I love to serve these cocktails as soon as I make them as the white cream against the dark Kahlúa looks very inviting.
For best results do not mix these cocktail before handing to a guest. Simply include a short cocktail stirrer.
For a lighter version add 1 ounce half n half instead of 2 ounces of cream.
