The Black Russian softened with a float of cream — vodka and coffee liqueur over ice, revived by The Big Lebowski; lightly thickening the cream first is what keeps the layer clean.

Steps

  1. 1
    Fill an old-fashioned glass with ice cubes.
  2. 2
    Pour in the vodka and coffee liqueur and stir for 10 seconds to chill.
  3. 3
    Shake the cream briefly in a small jar, or whisk it for a few seconds, until just thickened but still pourable, so it floats instead of sinking.
  4. 4
    Pour the cream slowly over the back of a bar spoon to lay it on top, and serve with a stirrer so it can be swirled in while drinking.
