Ingredients
  

Main
  • 1.5 oz vodka
  • 0.5 oz amaretto liqueur
  • 4 oz Dr Pepper soda chilled
  • 0.5 oz heavy cream
  • Ice cubes as needed

Equipment

  • Cocktail shaker or mixing glass
  • Jigger or measuring shot glass
  • Bar spoon
  • Rocks glass
  • Ice cubes
  • Bottle opener or pour spout

Method
 

  1. Fill a rocks glass to the top with fresh ice cubes.
  2. Measure 1.5 oz vodka with a jigger and pour over the ice.
  3. Add 0.5 oz amaretto liqueur to the glass.
  4. Top with 4 oz chilled Dr Pepper soda.
  5. Slowly float 0.5 oz heavy cream over the back of a bar spoon onto the drink.
  6. Stir gently for about 10 seconds to lightly combine without breaking the creamy layer.
  7. Taste; adjust with a splash more Dr Pepper for sweetness or a little extra cream for richness if desired.
  8. Serve immediately while cold and effervescent.

Notes

For the coldest cocktail, chill the rocks glass beforehand and keep all ingredients refrigerated. Use quality vodka for a smoother finish and pour the cream last to maintain a silky texture.
