Salted Caramel White Russian: A Sweet and Salty Twist on a Classic Cocktail

Salted Caramel White Russians are best served fresh, as the creamy texture and caramel flavor are most enjoyable when freshly mixed. Since this cocktail is served over ice, it’s not ideal for storing for later. However, the salted caramel syrup can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Variants:

Vegan Version: Replace the half-and-half with almond milk or coconut cream and choose a dairy-free caramel syrup for a vegan version of this drink.
Spiced Salted Caramel White Russian: Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the cocktail mixture for a spiced holiday twist.
Chocolate Salted Caramel White Russian: Stir in a small amount of chocolate syrup for a mocha-inspired variation.
