INGREDIENTS

1 large coffee ice cube
1 ounce coffee liqueur, such as Kahlua
1 ounce vodka
1/2 ounce amaretto
1 ounce half-and-half, chilled
Dash of cinnamon, optional

DIRECTIONS
Place the coffee ice cube in a rocks glass. Add the coffee liqueur, vodka and amaretto and stir the mixture to combine. Slowly pour the half-and-half over the ice cube. The half-and-half will stay layered on top, forming a white layer on top of the black. Finish with a dash of cinnamon if using. Stir together before drinking.

Note: To make the coffee ice cubes, simply freeze coffee in large silicone ice cube molds.

I especially like this cocktail for New Year’s Eve because it gives you that caffeine boost to make it to midnight!
