History & Origins

Avalanche is a modern bar cocktail with disputed origins, typical of the cream-topped whisky drinks that gained popularity in American bars during the 1980s and 1990s. The name evokes the cascading effect of the cream being poured over the whisky and Kahlúa below. No definitive historical record attributes the recipe to a single inventor.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Rich roasted coffee from the Kahlúa, the caramel and vanilla of Crown Royal, and a neutral sweetness from the cream. Palate: Smooth and layered; the cream softens the whisky's warmth while the Kahlúa provides a sweet coffee backbone; Crown Royal contributes gentle oak and vanilla notes. Finish: Medium-length, creamy and warm, with a lingering coffee sweetness.

Pro Tip

Float the cream gently over the back of a spoon on top of the whisky and Kahlúa to create a distinct visual layer before serving.
