The White Russian is a cocktail that emerged in the United States in the 1960s, known for adding cream to the Black Russian to create a smoother, sweeter taste.
It blends the intensity of vodka, the bittersweetness of coffee liqueur, and the smoothness of cream, making it a popular dessert-like cocktail.
With an ABV of around 20โ24%, itโs slightly lower in strength compared to the Black Russian and can be easily prepared by building over ice in an Old Fashioned glass.
It gained fame as the signature drink of the protagonist in the film The Big Lebowski and is highly recommended for those who enjoy coffee and cream flavors.
- 1. Fill an Old Fashioned glass with ice.
- 2. Pour in 50ml vodka and 20ml coffee liqueur.
- 3. Slowly float 30ml cream on top to create layers.
Tip Stir gently before drinking for a smoother taste.
