It's Friiiiiiday

 

It’s Friday afternoon and we sit on the cusp of what is set to be the hottest day of the year so far - 23 degrees in some parts of the country on Sunday. Get me to the beach!

So it may be a little too warm for some of us to enjoy our favourite hot beverage this weekend. Often the last thing you want on a baking hot day is steamed milk and espresso! But you’re still going to want refreshment and you’re definitely still going to need your caffeine hit!

Never fear friends; the solution is closer than you think.

 

The Snowy Belgian

So you’ve probably heard of The White Russian- a lost cocktail classic, revived by the Coen Brothers as favourite drink of ‘The Dude’ in 1998 movie The Big Lebowski.

But you may not have heard of ‘The Snowy Belgian.’ In a nod to the classic, we use real espresso and vanilla vodka for additional sweetness. Enjoy Dudes!

 

 

Ingredients

1 shot of espresso (cooled)

2 shots of vanilla vodka

2 shots of double cream

½ cup of crushed Ice

 

How to Make It

In a cocktail shaker (or stirred in the glass if you don’t have one) mix the espresso and the vodka together.

Pour into a short glass along with the ice.  

Pour the cream into the glass and stir.
