Ingredients:

  • 2 oz Premium Vodka
  • 1 oz Coffee Liqueur
  • 1 oz Heavy Whipping Cream (36% fat)
  • 1/8 tsp Freshly grated nutmeg
  • 1 large ice cube

Instructions:

  1. Chill the glass. Place your rocks glass in the freezer for at least 10 minutes. Note: A frosted glass keeps the cream from warming up too quickly.
  2. Add the ice. Drop one large ice cube into the center of the chilled glass.
  3. Pour the spirits. Add 2 oz of premium vodka followed by 1 oz of coffee liqueur directly over the ice.
  4. Stir gently. Use a spoon to stir the alcohol until the glass feels very cold to the touch (about 15 seconds).
  5. Position the spoon. Hold a bar spoon upside down so the back of the spoon is just touching the surface of the coffee mixture.
  6. The slow pour. Slowly pour 1 oz of heavy cream over the back of the spoon. Watch the cream bloom and settle on top of the dark liqueur.
  7. Grate the spice. Hold your nutmeg over the glass and grate about 1/8 tsp. Wait until the spicy aroma hits your nose before stopping.
  8. Serve immediately. Do not stir before serving; let the guest decide when to mix the layers.
