JAMMY BELGIAN


The Jammy Belgian is a riff on a riff of a White Russian cocktail, which is a deliciously creamy drink that combines vodka, coffee liqueur (like Kahlúa), and fresh cream or milk. The White Belgian classically swaps out the coffee liqueur for a chocolate liqueur such a creme de cacoa.

So my take on it, is the perfect cocktail to whip up over easter, or by a fire place or heater in the depths of winter, as it really is luxurious and as decadent as a cocktail can get. I have stuck to the formula of vodka (in my case a vanilla vodka, but regular vodka is fine if unable to source), creme de cacao for the chocolate hit and cream instead of milk as I enjoy the mouth feel of it a lot more. Then to turn it jammy there is chambord, a berry based liqueur that offers a sweet hit to keep it balanced.

If you have ever had a loved a wagon wheel chocolate bar, then this will be your happy place in a drink.
