Snickerdoodle White Russian

Snickerdoodle White Russian

Ingredients

• 2 oz vodka
• 1 oz coffee liqueur (like Kahlúa)
• 2 oz heavy cream (or half-and-half for lighter)
• 1 oz cinnamon-vanilla simple syrup (recipe below)
• 1–2 dashes cinnamon
• Ice
• Optional: cinnamon-sugar rim
• Optional: tiny cookie or cinnamon stick garnish

Cinnamon-Vanilla Simple Syrup

(You’ll want this—it’s what makes it Snickerdoodle)

• ½ cup sugar

• ½ cup water

• 1 tsp vanilla

• 1 tsp cinnamon

Bring water + sugar to a simmer, stir until dissolved. Add cinnamon + vanilla. Cool

Instructions

1. Rim (optional):
   Dip glass in a bit of simple syrup, then into cinnamon-sugar.
2. Fill glass with ice.
3. Pour in vodka + coffee liqueur.
4. Add cinnamon-vanilla syrup.
5. Gently float heavy cream over top (pour it slowly over the back of a spoon).
   This gives it that pretty layered look.
6. Sprinkle with cinnamon on top.
7. Garnish with a mini snickerdoodle cookie or a cinnamon stick.
