The White Russian

The White Russian

Ever heard of “The Dude”? You know… the Dude from the Big Lebowski. Well, this is his favorite drink, and in respect to the legend we’re doing a How-To on it. The drink has been around much longer than The Dude, called the White Russian, but is often seen as odd due to adding cream to the vodka — sadly dairy and alcohol aren’t featured too much in cold cocktails, although they taste delicious. Aesthetically, the White Russian looks beautiful with its black and white contrast stemming from the black Kahlua and white cream. It basically looks like an adult version of an ice blended with a splash of milk.

What you’ll need:

• 2 oz  Vodka
• 1 oz Kahlua
• 1 Splash Heavy Cream

How to make it:

The White Russian is an extremely easy drink to make, requiring no shaker or extra mixer glass.

1. First fill up your glass with ice, preferably an Old-Fashioned glass or even a rocks glass. Anything short.
2. Next add your Vodka and Kahlua.
3. Top off your drink with a good splash of heavy cream. The more cream, the more it masks the alcohol taste, but you still want to feel hints of the Vodka/Kahlua mix.
4. Soak in the beauty of the drink and then stir to bring the drink to its final stage.

Woah! You’ve just made a beautiful drink (we won’t judge if you put it on the ‘gram). For quality cocktail ingredients and at home delivery, go to ShopSK.
