The Steel Helmet is essentially a White Russian with, well, a helmet. The topper and distinguishing mark is a float of Galliano liqueur, a stunning liqueur with spicy tones, and this extra little touch adds a nice aspect to the favorite cocktail. Either milk or cream will work here and is a matter of personal preference. If you're looking for a thicker drink, cream is the better choice and since it is served on the rocks that really is the best choice.
Ingredients:
- 1 oz vodka
- 1 oz coffee liqueur
- milk or cream to fill
- Galliano liqueur
Preparation:
- Build the vodka, coffee liqueur and milk or cream in an old-fashioned glass.
- Stir well.
- Float Galliano on top by slowly pouring it over the back of a bar spoon.
