Method

Gather Your Ingredients

Ensure you have everything on the list. Fresh ingredients make a difference, so opt for good-quality vodka and liqueurs.

Fill the Shaker

Add a handful of ice cubes to your cocktail shaker. This will chill your drink perfectly.

Measure the Liquids

Using a jigger, measure out the vodka, coffee liqueur, and hazelnut liqueur. Pour these into the shaker over the ice.

Add Cream

Measure and add the heavy cream to the shaker. This ingredient gives the Nutty Russian its rich, creamy texture.

Shake It Up!

Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds. You want the mixture well chilled and combined.

Prepare Your Glass

If desired, drizzle some chocolate syrup inside your serving glass for an extra touch of sweetness.

Strain and Serve

Using a strainer, pour the mixture into the prepared glass. You can serve it over fresh ice or straight up, depending on your preference.

Garnish and Enjoy

Feel free to top it off with whipped cream or a sprinkle of cocoa powder for an elegant touch. Enjoy your Nutty Russian with friends!

Variations

Nutty White Russian: Replace heavy cream with milk or a dairy-free alternative like almond milk for a lighter version.

Iced Nutty Russian: Blend the ingredients with ice for a slushy twist, perfect for summer gatherings.

Nut-Free Version: Omit the hazelnut liqueur and substitute with extra coffee liqueur or a flavored syrup for sweetness.
