Notes
Use caramel vodka for maximum flavor, or regular vodka with extra caramel syrup. Oat milk offers a smooth, dairy-free option. A salted rim adds contrast to the sweetness. Try swapping in Bailey’s for a creamier coffee flavor. Easily doubled for a crowd, and garnish with extra caramel for presentation.
