"This classic cocktail mixes vodka with coffee liqueur and cream in a decadently creamy, searingly sweet beverage. The White Russian has an interesting reputation. You may know it from the 1990's movie The Big Lebowski. Some purists think it's too sweet or uninspired (and I have my thoughts). But it's a classic vodka cocktail that's simple and hits the spot!"
"Vodka: I like using a mid-range vodka like Tito's or Smirnoff. Kahlua (Coffee Liqueur): Kahlua is the traditional choice: it's a Mexican coffee liqueur with rum, sugar, and coffee flavors. Other coffee liqueurs like Tia Maria or Sheridan's work as alternatives. Heavy Cream: This is what gives the drink its signature richness. Heavy cream makes those beautiful swirls, but I've also tested different dairy options (more below)."
White Russian combines vodka, coffee liqueur, and heavy cream into a rich, sweet cocktail. The Black Russian is the same without cream and was invented in a Brussels hotel bar in 1949 for the American ambassador to Luxembourg. Adding cream in 1955 in California produced a latte-like richness, and popularity surged after the 1998 film The Big Lebowski. Use a mid-range vodka such as Tito's or Smirnoff. Kahlua is the traditional coffee liqueur, with Tia Maria or Sheridan's as alternatives. Heavy cream creates signature swirls and richness. Serve over ice in a lowball or rocks glass.
