A Cozy American Classic with a Sweet Twist
There’s something irresistibly nostalgic about the scent of caramel and butterscotch wafting through the air—like being back in my grandmother’s kitchen on a chilly Sunday afternoon, stealing spoonfuls of her homemade butterscotch sauce when she wasn’t looking. That inspiration, combined with my fondness for White Russians, led me to craft this delightful twist on a cocktail classic: the Salted Caramel Butterscotch White Russian.
Whether you’re lounging on a summer evening or cozying up by the fire in winter, this cocktail fits right in. It’s rich, creamy, and has just the right balance of sweet and salty thanks to the luscious salted caramel and smooth butterscotch liqueur. Trust me—after one sip, you’ll be hooked.
