The Mocha Spiced Rum Russian is a Christmas cocktail that was created by Alex Sukopp, former bartender of Sips From Scripts, for a holiday sampling event. The recipe is a variation of the classic White Russian that calls for Tattersall Distilling Blackstrap Rum, a funky aged spirit with a strong flavor profile. The rum is then mellowed out with a homemade pumpkin spice syrup, coffee liqueur, cocoa, and cream, and it has a rich caramel and pumpkin pie spice rim.
Add blackstrap rum, dark rum, pumpkin spice syrup, coffee liqueur, heavy cream, caramel sauce, and coffee & cocoa bitters to a shaker.
Fill shaker with cubed ice.
Shake for 10-20 seconds.
Using a Hawthorne strainer, strain into a coupe glass.
Garnish with coffee beans.
