Prep Time:2 minutes

Equipment

  • small plate
  • cocktail shaker
  • large martini glass

Ingredients

  • black sanding sugar
  • 3 oz. cold brew coffee
  • 1 oz. Kahlua
  • 2 oz. vodka
  • 1 oz. blk. natural mineral alkaline water
  • 1 tbsp. simple syrup

Instructions

  • Place black sanding sugar on a plate.
  • Dip rim of glass into water and then coat with black sugar.
  • In a cocktail shaker, combine 3 ounces cold brew coffee, 1 ounce Kahlua, 2 ounces vodka, 1 ounce blk, and half an ounce of simple syrup. Shake to combine.
  • Strain into martini glass.
  • Serve immediately.

Notes

If you prefer your drinks to be less sweet, omit the simple syrup.
The blk helps to dilute the drink a bit, the way ice would in a traditional black Russian. But you can omit this step if you want your drink stronger. You can also substitute regular water for the blk.
