🥃 Serve in: Old-Fashioned Glass
Coffee liqueur and a float of cream turn vodka into the richer, dessert-adjacent cousin of the Black Russian -- sweet, smooth, and thoroughly indulgent over ice. The Dude drank one throughout an entire movie and somehow made that count as characterization; it's stayed one of the most recognizable cream cocktails in the world ever since. Traditionally poured with the cream floated on top rather than stirred in.
Pour vodka and coffee liqueur over ice cubes in an old-fashioned glass. Fill with light cream and serve.
