  3. 3

    Layer the vodka on top by pouring slowly over the back of a bar spoon.

    Top with soda water poured the same way, keeping the three bands distinct.

  5. 5

    Serve with a straw pushed to the bottom and drink it in one continuous pull.

The kit for this drink
From the Bartender

An American bar-trick drink from the 1980s. The straw is not decoration: sip it normally and the layers collapse into a weak Black Russian instead of delivering the intended sequence.

Cocktails like this one

Colorado Bulldog
Vodka

Colorado Bulldog

Vanilla and caramel from the cola riding over cold cream, with the coffee liqueur underneath giving it a roasted spine — sweet, foamy and far more drinkable than the ingredient list suggests.

Black Magic
Vodka

Black Magic

Roasted coffee sweetness pulled taut by the lemon, which stops the liqueur coating the mouth the way it does in a Black Russian and leaves the finish clean.

Seven and Seven
Canadian Blended Whisky

Seven and Seven

Light, sweet and citric, with the whisky's soft grain sitting just far enough forward to remind you it is there — undemanding by design.

Presbyterian
Bourbon Whiskey

Presbyterian

Half the sweetness of a whiskey-ginger with all of the spice, the soda thinning it into something genuinely refreshing rather than merely mixed.
