Non-Dairy White Russian Cocktail

Servings 1 person

Ingredients

  • 2 ounces vodka
  • 1 ounce coffee liqueur like Kahlua
  • splash of cashew cream* or other non-dairy milk to taste

Cashew cream

  • 1 cup raw cashews (soaked in water overnight, drained, and rinsed)
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  • To make the cashew cream, soak raw cashews overnight, drain and rinse, and add to blender or food processor. Add your water, maple syrup, and vanilla and blend until smooth. A better high-speed blender will blend this until basically totally smooth, but if your blender still leaves it with a bit of fine grain, don’t worry—it will still taste just as good! Store in an airtight container for up to five days.
  • Add your vodka and coffee liqueur over ice (I love to use these large ice cubes for a drink like this) in a short rocks glass.
  • Add a splash of your cashew cream (or other non-dairy milk) and serve! I like to serve these with a straw or spoon so people can stir the dark and light layers together themselves—it’s fun!
