Vodka Paralyzer Recipe

Although the origins of the Vodka Paralyzer aren't as well-documented as some classic cocktails, it has gained quite a bit of popularity in North America, especially in Canada. Thought to be a variant of the classic Colorado Bulldog, the Vodka Paralyzer offers a creamy twist on fizzy cocktails. It’s reminiscent of the White Russian, but the addition of cola gives it an extra kick and a more refreshing finish. This drink serves as a great conversation starter and offers a nostalgic nod to the cocktails of the late 20th century.

Here's What You'll Need to Make the Recipe

Key Ingredients:

Vodka: The backbone of our cocktail, vodka provides the strength and a smooth base that allows other flavors to shine. You can use any brand of vodka. However, a mid-range to high-quality vodka makes a noticeable difference.
Kahlua®: This coffee-flavored liqueur adds a rich and sweet depth to the drink, giving it its distinctive character. If Kahlua® isn't accessible, any coffee liqueur can serve as a substitute.
Milk: The milk adds a creamy texture to the Vodka Paralyzer, making it indulgently smooth. You can use whole milk for a richer consistency, but alternatives like almond milk or oat milk work well if you're dairy-free.
Coca Cola®: The final ingredient that tops off this delicious concoction, Coca Cola® provides the sweetness and fizz that makes this cocktail both refreshing and indulgent. You can use diet cola if you're watching your sugar intake.
