Method
Prepare the Glass:
Start by drizzling some salted caramel sauce along the inside of a glass. This will create a beautiful effect and add extra flavor.
Mix the Cocktail:
In a cocktail shaker, combine the vodka, coffee liqueur, heavy cream, and salted caramel sauce.
Fill the shaker with ice cubes, then secure the lid and shake gently until well mixed. You want to chill the ingredients without over-shaking.
Serve:
Fill the prepared glass with fresh ice cubes and strain the cocktail mixture over the ice.
Optionally, you can top it with a dollop of whipped cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce.
Garnish:
Finish with a light sprinkle of sea salt on top to enhance the caramel flavor.
