Moloko Plus

Instead of reading like I should be doing, I just finished watching another installment of How to Drink. Greg made a Moloko Plus, from the movie A Clockwork Orange. The book doesn't go into details about the drink, except to say that it has milk and illicit drugs. Greg made a version popularized by a bartender named Morgan Schick from Trick Dog. It seemed really interesting so I looked up a few recipes to see what I could find.

Punch has the Morgan Schick version; this is probably where Greg got it from. It uses a cardamom infused milk which sounds really interesting, but seems like too much work. The milk also includes half-and-half which I don't usually buy. This made me think about butter and I was surprised to learn that you can make heavy cream by blending milk and melted butter together. Because of my lactose intolerance I thought about almond milk. Also for the flavor. So lactose-free milk, butter, and almond milk would make an interesting combination.

Moloko is Russian for milk, so I'm thinking the cocktail should have some vodka. But vodka plus milk is getting really close to White Russian territory, so the drink should be distinctly different from that.

Adina Applebaum has an article on the Airship with a Moloko Plus recipe that includes Irish Cream, which is smart. The Imaginary Mixologist has a recipe that includes Amaretto. That's something I don't own yet, but I figure I will sooner or later, so I think that should be part of the recipe that I'm cobbling together. And Genius Kitchen includes a Moloko Recipe that mentions honey. So I think I have enough ingredients for something memorable:

Vodka
Milk blended with butter, mixed with almond milk
Amaretto
Irish Cream
Honey
