The Colorado Bulldog is the fizzy variant of the White Russian: a splash of cola is added to the classic mix of vodka, coffee liqueur and cream. The result is sweet, creamy and surprisingly refreshing at the same time.

Instructions

  1. Fill a highball glass with ice cubes.
  2. Pour vodka and coffee liqueur over the ice.
  3. Add the cream and stir briefly.
  4. Top up with cola.
  5. Stir carefully and serve.

Garnish: none

Pro tip: Add the cola carefully at the very end so the cream does not curdle right away and the drink stays nicely layered.

Frequently asked questions

What distinguishes the Colorado Bulldog from the White Russian?

The Colorado Bulldog is essentially a White Russian topped up with cola - this makes it fizzier and less heavy.

Which coffee liqueur works best?

Kahlua is the classic, but any good coffee liqueur works and provides the typical coffee note.

Can I use milk instead of cream?

Yes, with milk the drink becomes lighter but loses some of its creamy richness.
