Sometimes the classic White Russian recipe just won’t satisfy the craving deep within for that little something more. Kahlua adds the kick of coffee. Kahlua Especial ramps it up a few notches. But Espresso Vodka added to the mix sets the caffeine tone for one heck of an evening beginner cocktail.

1 part Half & Half
Combine ingredients in a mixing glass with ice. Shake to blend. Strain into a rocks glass over fresh ice.
Cherry Espresso brings decadently, rich, excellent coffee flavor with a little cacao spin to the already fabulous Russian Espresso drink recipe. Just a nib of cherry comes through. Not too sweet with the added half & half. Fabulous as a dessert cocktail or luxurious palate fulfillment. This would also be terrific blended for a tall iced drink.
