Equipment
- Short glass (Old Fashioned or rocks glass)
- Cocktail shaker
- Spoon
- Measuring jigger
- Small plate
- Ice cubes
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon salted caramel sauce or caramel syrup plus more for drizzling
- 2 oz vodka
- 1 oz coffee liqueur like Kahlua
- 1 oz Irish cream optional, for extra richness
- 1 oz heavy cream or half-and-half
- 1 pinch flaky sea salt
- ice cubes
Instructions
- Drizzle caramel sauce around the inside of the glass and over the rim if you like extra flavor.
- Dip the rim in sea salt (optional).
- Fill the glass with ice cubes.

- Pour the mixture into the prepared glass.
- Slowly pour heavy cream over the top to create a swirling effect.

Notes
Salted caramel syrup melts in easier than sauce, but both work. For a less sweet drink, use less caramel. Skip the shaker and build in the glass if you prefer. Adjust vodka, coffee liqueur, or cream to taste. Rim half the glass with salt for a lighter touch.
