A paralyzer drink may be just what the party doctor ordered! This concoction combines a tasty blend of vodka, coffee liqueur, Coca-Cola, and cream to create an irresistible cocktail you won’t soon forget.
Paralyzer Drink Ingredients
The paralyzer is a decadent mix of creamy Kahlua, smooth vodka, and a splash of cola. Its rich and creamy taste makes it a perfect after-dinner treat or a nightcap to be enjoyed with friends.
You’ll need:
- ½ cup of ice cubes
- 1 ounce of Kahlua coffee liqueur
- 1 ounce of whipped cream vodka (Smirnoff brand)
- 4 ounces of Coca-Cola original
- 1 ounce of heavy cream
- 1 maraschino cherry with stem for garnish
Substitutions And Additions
VODKA: If whipped cream vodka is hard to find in your local liquor store, you can substitute it with vanilla vodka or even a good-quality plain vodka. The whipped cream vodka adds a wonderful sweetness that plain vodka will not.
CREAM: If you prefer a lighter cream, you can certainly use half & half in its place of the heavy cream. However, I really like the richness the heavy cream lends to this cocktail.
COCA-COLA: You can double this recipe and use one of the 7.5-ounce mini Coca-Cola cans split between the two drinks. I like to keep these mini cans stocked in my pantry or liquor cabinet for making delicious cocktails. This way, I do not need to open a large can and waste the excess.
How To Make This Paralyzer Drink Recipe
This drink easily comes together in a highball glass and is ready to be shared and enjoyed within minutes.
OUR RECIPE DEVELOPER SAYS
This recipe makes a single drink but can easily be doubled or tripled to serve more people.
STEP ONE: Place the ice cubes into an 11-ounce highball glass.
STEP TWO: Add the Kahlua coffee liqueur, whipped cream vodka, Coca-Cola original, and heavy cream to the glass.
STEP THREE: Gently stir with a straw, or long stirrer, just to blend in the heavy cream while keeping the gradient-layered look of the cocktail.
STEP FOUR: Garnish with the stemmed maraschino cherry on top.
PRO TIP:
This paralyzer drink should be served immediately. You can stir it up completely if desired, but I like the look of the layers for serving.
