A strong Black Russian cocktail is hands down my favorite mixed drink. It’s perfect for sipping with a book, or while binging on Netflix – or you know, being social. This Cinnamon-Vanilla Black Russian cocktail is a bit unexpected and a nice treat when the weather starts to get a bit brisk.

I first shared this Raven-inspired Coffee Cocktail on my friend’s site, Amanda’s Cookin’.

There’s something about the distinct taste and brooding name of a Black Russian cocktail that suggests pondering by a fire with a raging winter storm outside. Adding a bit of warmth with cinnamon whiskey and touch of delicacy with vanilla-infused vodka gives this classic cocktail a bit more depth and a brand new flavor profile.

If you haven’t tried coffee flavored liquors like Kahlua before, they are a delicious sweet and syrupy-type liquor that allows you to get that hint of coffee flavor without getting a caffeine buzz on late at night. It’s one of my favorites for mixing cocktails with – like my Salted Caramel Dessert Coffee or my Spiderweb White Russian Cocktail.

Tip: I often order my liquor from Drizly because they have a quick delivery time (sometimes within 40 minutes) and no expensive mark-ups. Purchasing from them supports local retailers, too. You can order the Kahlua, Cinnamon Whiskey and Vanilla Vodka needed for this recipe from them.

Tip: a traditional Black Russian cocktail does not contain any cola, but I like it for making a “fuller” drink without adding extra alcohol.
