Mind Eraser Cocktail Recipe
We totally get why the Mind Eraser gets so much attention. It’s bold, fizzy, and a little sneaky. That mix of vodka, coffee liqueur, and club soda packs a punch, but the real fun is in the layers. It’s simple to make, and when it’s done right, it looks just as good as it tastes.
Equipment
- Old-fashioned glass or highball glass
- Bar Spoon
- Straw
- Jigger
Ingredients
- 2 oz coffee liqueur we usually use Kahlúa, but any brand will do
- 2 oz vodka
- 2 oz club soda or lemon-lime soda we like club soda for a lighter feel, but Sprite adds a sweet twist
- Ice cubes
Instructions
- Fill a glass to the top with ice cubes. The colder and fuller the glass, the better the layers stay in place.
- Pour in the coffee liqueur first. Let it settle at the bottom.
- Slowly pour the vodka over the back of a bar spoon so it floats above the liqueur.
- Top it off with club soda, pouring the same way to keep the layers nice and clear.
- Add a thick straw and serve it right away. The whole idea is to sip from the bottom and let each layer hit your taste buds in order.
Notes
- Use plenty of ice and pour each layer slowly. This helps keep the drink looking sharp and layered.
- Go with a jumbo straw or anything wide enough to pull the drink from the bottom up. A skinny straw won’t give you the full effect.
- If you want to lighten it up or add a twist, try vanilla vodka or caramel vodka.
- Use a clear glass to show off those layers. It’s simple, classic, and just looks better
