Highball Glass

Glass Guide- Highball Glass

The Velvet Hammer falls into the creamy mixed drink recipe alongside the White Russian, Sombrero and Mudslide. There were many mixed drinks like this which saw their peak of popularity in the 70's and 80's, but they've fallen out of favor a bit since then. They are great, relaxing sippers that are light on the alcohol but thick on the palate.

Ingredients:

  • 2 oz Cointreau
  • 2 oz Tia Maria
  • 2 oz half and half

Preparation:

  1. Pour the liqueurs into a highball glass filled with ice.
  2. Stir.
  3. Gently top with the cream.
