We're all about making a cozy co*cktail on a chilly day when all we want to do is curl up by the fire with the ones we love. From a smoked old fashioned to an apple cider margarita, there's nothing like a delicious co*cktail to keep you warm. For this recipe, we're crafting a Campfire co*cktail, aka a White Russian with whiskey. Whether enjoying this drink on a warm summer night in the great outdoors or enjoying the warm flavor snuggled under blankets, you can't go wrong with this delicious drink.

What Is a Campfire co*cktail?

A Campfire co*cktail is just as smoky and delicious as it sounds. First, we mix the whiskey, Kahlua, and half and half in a co*cktail shaker. Then, we make a chocolate rim by melting the chocolate and adding crushed graham crackers. Lastly, we pour the co*cktail into the chocolate-rimmed glass and enjoy every rich, creamy sip. No need for a smoky fire pit to cure your sweet tooth when you have this great recipe at your fingertips!

What You Need to Make a Campfire co*cktail

  • Jack Daniels Tennessee Honey – Or your favorite whiskey with a sweet flavor profile.

  • Graham Cracker Crumbs – For lining the glass.

How to Make a Campfire co*cktail

  1. Combine the Tennessee Honey, Kahlua, half and half in a co*cktail shaker filled with ice. Shake until cold.

What to Serve With a Campfire co*cktail

You can enjoy these delightful drinks on their own or pair them with smoky dishes like smoked chicken or smoked BBQ shepherd's pie! If you're having a night in with friends or family, make a dessert bar and serve your co*cktails with coffee cake, cherry crisp, and smoked brownies!

Recipe FAQs

What if I don't have Jack Daniels Tennessee Honey?

No worries! You can use any kind of whiskey you prefer and add 1 part honey for 3 parts regular Jack Daniels. Another option is to use a honey bourbon for a similar flavor profile.

Can I use heavy cream instead of half and half?

Yes! Just use a splash so you don't overpower your co*cktail with too much creaminess (if there is such a thing)!

Can I substitute the Kahlua in this recipe?

Absolutely! You can swap out the Kahlua for another kind of coffee liqueur you prefer, like Frangelico, Kamora, or Tia Maria. Or, if you want to reduce the alcohol content, you can substitute instant coffee for Kahlua.

Can I make a non-alcoholic Campfire co*cktail?

If you want to indulge in this tasty treat but don't want or can't have alcohol, try making the mocktail version! All you need is some vanilla cream soda, coffee flavored syrup or coffee, and some half and half, whole milk, or heavy cream to top it off!
