Indulge in the luxurious blend of two beloved classics with our Tiramisu White Russian. This innovative cocktail marries the rich, coffee-infused flavors of tiramisu with the smooth, creamy notes of a White Russian. Inspired by the Italian dessert's origins in Treviso, we've transformed it into a sophisticated adult beverage.
Our recipe features a harmonious mix of premium vodka, coffee liqueur, and fresh cream, layered over a velvety mascarpone mixture. We use a medium-roast espresso for a balanced coffee flavor, freshly brewed and chilled. The cocktail is finished with a dusting of high-quality cocoa powder, adding a touch of bitterness to complement the sweet, creamy layers beneath.
