Ingredients

1cupraw cashews

2cupswaterdivided, plus more for soaking

2tbspmaple syruptaste

2tspvanilla extract

1ozvodka

1ozKahluarum and coffee liqueur

2ozcashew cream

Preparation

For ultra creamy results, soak the cashews in water for 2 to 4 hours. Drain them, then rinse the cashews under running water.

Place the drained cashews in your blender and add 1 cup of the water.

Blend the mixture on high until the cashews are totally pulverized and the mixture is very creamy.

Add the remaining 1 cup of water, the maple syrup and vanilla extract, and blend again. Taste, and blend in additional maple syrup if you’d like it to be sweeter.

Fill a short cocktail glass with ice. Pour in the vodka, followed by the Kahlua and cashew cream. Lightly swirl the contents with a spoon, and enjoy.
