Created by Sasha Petraske from Milk & Honey, this is a riff on a White Russian. Made with only three ingredients, it is still complex and makes the perfect nightcap! But don't forget to express the orange - it's a key element!

La Dominicana

  • 1-1/2 oz. Aged Rum

  • 1-1/2 oz. Coffee liqueur (Kahlua)

  • 1-1/2 oz. Heavy cream*

* Use more when shaking (2-3 oz.)

so you don't come up short!

Method...

Mix the first two ingredients over ice and pour into a chilled coupe or "Nick & Nora" glass. Shake cream in a mixing tin with a large cube, and float on top over a barspoon. Express an orange peel, wipe glass and discard.

The La Dominicana Cocktail

Try fine-grating some orange zest over the top! Also try Mr. Black coffee liqueur for a less sweet version.

Hi, I'm Scott Gardner, your mindful mixologist. While I am not a professional bartender, I have made well over two hundred different and unique cocktails, and invented over fifteen original drinks, including my famous European Vacation, Muzetta's Waltz, and The Cherry Bella, all of which can be found in my book, Lock it, Flip it, Kick it & Shake!

Besides shaking, stirring, and sipping, I also enjoy golfing, reading, and writing. My wife and I both love animals and we have recently gotten into birding, which is a fun and rewarding hobby. And our favorite birds... The Philadelphia Eagles, of course! Go Birds!
