Ingredients for a White Russian

Here are the ingredients you’ll need for making this co*cktail:

Pure Maple Syrup: pure syrup has no added sugar, making it the perfect sweetener for this co*cktail. It also adds amazing flavor!
Strong Coffee: use extra strong brewed coffee or espresso, if you have a machine.
Cream: you can use half-and-half, whipping cream, or heavy cream for this recipe. Non-dairy creamers will also work well.
Vodka: use your favorite brand of vodka for this recipe. Chilled vodka from the freezer is best.

Using Maple Syrup in co*cktails

100% pure maple syrup from Canada’s flavor is unmatched. As a natural sweetener, it’s the perfect alternative to simple syrup for sweetening co*cktails! Real maple has a one-of-a-kind rich maple flavor that just tastes better and gives this co*cktail a delicious twist! I absolutely love how the maple syrup flavors shine through in this White Russian co*cktail recipe! Try using pure maple syrup for other co*cktails, too. I love to use it for whiskey sours, margaritas, bourbon twists and classic old-fashioned co*cktails!

Making Maple Coffee Syrup

Traditionally, White Russians are made with a sweetened coffee liqueur but for this recipe, I make my own coffee syrup with espresso and maple syrup. This recipe will make enough syrup for 4 co*cktails but it can be scaled up or down. Simply combine ½ cup strong espresso and ½ cup 100% pure maple syrup in a measuring cup or small pitcher and stir together. If you don’t use all the syrup the same day, cover and refrigerate the rest.

How to Make a Maple White Russian

This maple white Russian is super easy to make! You’ll need just four ingredients: 100% pure maple syrup, espresso, vodka and cream; I use whipping cream for this recipe but half-and-half will also work well for a lower fat version!

First, combine the coffee and maple syrup to create the coffee base.
Next, add a handful of ice into a co*cktail shaker. Measure out 2 oz of vodka and 2 oz of the maple coffee syrup and give the co*cktail a quick shake.
Traditionally, this classic co*cktail is served in an old-fashioned glass and that’s what I like to use. Add a handful of ice first or add a square ice cube to make the co*cktail extra fancy!
To layer the cream over the coffee and vodka, slowly pour the cream over the back of a spoon.

Serving a White Russian co*cktail

A properly layered White Russian looks so pretty and impressive! Serve this co*cktail layered and use a spoon to stir the two layers together. Enjoy immediately. For some extra garnish, try adding a sprig of fresh rosemary over the top of the glass to make the co*cktail extra festive for the holidays!

This delicious co*cktail recipe was sponsored by Maple from Canada. You’ll love the flavor of the maple syrup in this classic recipe! 100% pure maple syrup from Canada is a natural sweetener that is derived directly from the maple tree’s sap! Unlike mass produced syrups, which contain a slurry of sugar, artificial flavors and corn syrups, real maple syrup is made with just one ingredient – 100% maple.
