This step adds flavor with every sip and enhances the presentation.

1 oz vanilla vodka

1 oz Irish cream liqueur

Stir gently with a bar spoon until everything is well combined and the drink has a uniform color.
Step 5: Garnish Like a Pro
-
Top with a generous dollop of whipped cream.
-
Sprinkle more cinnamon sugar on top.
-
Add a cinnamon stick for aroma, elegance, and stir-ability.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
-
Serve immediately while the drink is cold and creamy.
-
Encourage sipping slowly to enjoy the evolving flavors as the ice melts.
Notes
While this cocktail is best served fresh, you can still prep elements in advance:
-
Pre-mix Liquors: Combine all the alcohols in a bottle or pitcher and refrigerate.
-
Ready Your Garnish: Mix cinnamon sugar and store it in a small jar; have whipped cream and cinnamon sticks ready.
-
Serve in Batches: Multiply the recipe and serve in a punch bowl or pitcher for parties—just stir before pouring.
-
Chill Glasses: Keep your cocktail glasses in the freezer for 30 minutes before serving for an extra cold treat.
