This Hot White Russian Cocktail Will Keep You Warm!
Yes, summer is coming to a close and that’s why you need this Hot White Russian. Holidays. Fall and winter camping. Tailgating. Tis the season! Tis also the season when we all like to get bundled up in scarves, mittens, and boots to stay warm.
And maybe (just maybe) you’d also like a nice warm-you-from-the-inside-out cocktail? How does a Hot White Russian Cocktail sound? (Trust me… it sounds really good!)
Especially if you like rich coffee laced with a wee bit of vodka and Kahlua and topped off with a splash of comforting warm cream. Yes, it’s good! Warm alcoholic drinks are fabulous this time of year.
Why I Love This Recipe
This hot white Russian cocktail elevates your beverage game. A lot. It’s easy enough to make as a last minute warm up drink.
But it’s fancy enough to impress even your most discriminating guests. It’s a great go-to drink when you are looking for an easy hot cocktail.
This is a fantastic cool-weather-busy-time-of-year drink. It’s warm and rich with a kick of caffeine, and just enough fun stuff to take the edge off. Nice…!
The best part is that it only uses four ingredients, and you probably have most of them on hand.
Ingredients in this Recipe

- Kahlua – Choose your favorite coffee liqueur.
- Vodka – I use a half shot, but some like it with more. Your call.
- Cream – You can use non-dairy, but it is much better with dairy cream.
How to Make Your Hot White Russian Cocktail

Enjoy the moment!
What Alcoholic Drinks Are Hot?
This Hot White Russian is one of my favorite warm alcoholic drinks, but there are other great ones too. The Hot Toddy is great when you’re feeling under the weather. And these warm cocktails are also great. (I’m talking spiked hot chocolate and Irish coffee! Need I say more??)

And get these cool cocktail glasses here on Amazon (they’re actually brandy glasses, but they’re perfect for this hot white Russian cocktail!) You can also order your coffee on Amazon too! (That’s what I do.) It’s super convenient and I never run out.

Thanks for sharing! Does it separate after awhile?
Hi Vanessa! Mine has never sat around long enough to separate! lol!! But my guess is that it will separate a bit after awhile, given the different densities of the liquids.
