Do you love The Big Lebowski? I do. And I can't even think of this drink without thinking about Lebowski.
I'm not usually one for cream-based drinks of any kind. In fact, if I order a mixed drink of any kind, it's almost always a gin martini (stirred, not shaken, sorry 007), or a gin and tonic. Because gin. So why am I talking about a creamy drink, then? Well, I had half a pot of extra dark brewed coffee that was going to go to waste, and less than half a fifth of vodka left from our Halloween party, so I decided to throw caution to the wind and mix them. They were about equal parts. I then made up about 1/2 cup of quick simple syrup and poured it into the jar with the coffee and vodka, put the lid on, and shook it up.
Well, then I thought about what I was actually going to do with it. I mean, like I said earlier, I'm just not a creamy drink person. But for those of you who are, you'll want to take note, because this even impressed me. Now, you don't have to make your own Kahlua-esque liqueur for this. The drink is so simple. I poured my desired amount of coffee liqueur into a small mason jar (use a glass, don't be like me), and used canned coconut milk for the cream instead of dairy, just splashing it on top until it looked good. Talk about YUM, and easy. If you're the sort of person who is responsible, and actually has ice cubes on hand in your freezer, put those in your glass first (or last if you want to live on the edge). Don't ever come to my house expecting ice cubes...I'm not that responsible. I'm sorry in advance for that. But I'll make you this drink if you want, and I hope that will be ok. Happy Saturday, folks!
