The North Denver hot spot, Gaetano’s, shares their recipe which pairs beautifully with any of their desserts. The Shifty Russian, a creamy cocktail with coffee essence, it’s truly the perfect after dinner drink.
Sit down, shut up, and let Kyle pour you a stiff one.
Gaetano’s Shifty Russian
1 1/2 oz house infused vanilla vodka, or any store bought vanilla vodka
2 oz cream
3/4 oz Leopold Brother’s French Press Coffee Liqueur
Mix ingredients, shake (not stirred), pour through a double fine strainer (adds more froth), top with crushed espresso beans and a little pour of Leopold’s.
Sip.
