1 oz Heavy cream or milk/cream alternative
Splash of Soda water or club soda
Ice cubes for serving

Equipment

Old-fashioned glass
Cocktail shaker (optional, for mixing)
Ice

Method

Fill an Old-Fashioned Glass: Add ice cubes to an old-fashioned glass to chill the drink.
Mix Ingredients: In a cocktail shaker, combine coffee liqueur and heavy cream. Shake gently to mix the ingredients, ensuring a smooth consistency.
Pour and Top: Pour the coffee liqueur and cream mixture over the ice in the old-fashioned glass. Top with a splash of soda water.
Stir (optional): Give the drink a gentle stir to combine the soda water with the other ingredients, but don’t stir too vigorously, as you want to maintain the drink’s effervescence.
Serve and Enjoy: Garnish with a twist of citrus peel or a few coffee beans if desired, and serve immediately.

Notes

Variations: You can experiment with different coffee liqueurs, such as hazelnut or vanilla, for a unique twist. Additionally, try using non-dairy creamers or flavored sparkling waters for variations suited to dietary preferences.
Alcohol-Free Option: For a non-alcoholic version, use non-alcoholic coffee-flavored syrup and soda water with a dairy or non-dairy substitute for the cream.
Garnishes: While optional, a few coffee beans or a lemon twist can add visual appeal and a subtle flavor complement to the drink.
