KopiO White Russian
Cream, with structure.
The White Russian often collapses under its own sweetness. This version tightens the build, using KopiO® to bring coffee bitterness and restraint back into the drink.
KopiO provides roasted depth and a dry finish, preventing the drink from becoming flat or cloying. Coffee is no longer decorative — it’s structural.
Ingredients (Serves 1)

30 ml KopiO® Coffee Liqueur
