Tips & Suggestions

Preparation

Preparation Tip 1

Use a large, clear ice cube rather than standard cubes, as this slows dilution, maintains the flavour, and prevents the coffee liqueur's texture from being watered down.

Preparation

Preparation Tip 2

Always pour the vodka first, add the coffee liqueur over it, then stir, to prevent the layered viscosity from being altered on the first stir, and make the mouthfeel smoother.
