So you've tried your chestnut praline syrup in lattes already and loved it, now you're looking for something new. Something grown up? Try this nutty twist on a White Russian 🌰


Rolos? Like the chocolate caramels? Yep, that's the one. A super easy drink base to make is chocolate vodka, you can make it by the drink like I do in this recipe or you can make it by the bottle, remove a cup or so from a liter of your vodka of choice and then replace with chopped Rolo candies. Let it sit for a few hours, you may need to heat the remaining solid pieces to fully melt and incorporate.

But back to why we are really here - you need more to do with that Starbucks dupe chestnut praline syrup. And your homemade Kahlua. You basically made this delicacy completely from scratch. Add 3 coffee ice balls to complete your snowman and sprinkles too ☃️


 

Ingredients


Step 1: Make Chocolate Vodka

For a single drink, drop the Rolos in the vodka and give it a good shake. To speed up incorporation, microwave for 30 seconds, give it another good shake, microwave for 15 seconds, shake again, and then I needed another 15 seconds. Be careful not to heat too much, you'll evaporate some of the alcohol.


Step 2: Mix Drink

Add Kahlua, chestnut praline syrup, and heavy cream to the chocolate vodka and whip a little. Add ice and top with sprinkles.


I love these silicone trays to have coffee ice balls at the ready:


And these glass travel mugs are the perfect size for this drink...
