White Russian
A rich and creamy cocktail, the White Russian is a simple yet indulgent blend of vodka, coffee liqueur, and cream, served over ice. It's known for its smooth taste and comforting appeal.
Prepare the glass
Fill an old fashioned glass (or rocks glass) with 1 serving of ice.
💡 Tips:
- •Using a large ice cube can help keep the drink colder with less dilution.
Add vodka and coffee liqueur
Pour 2 ounces (60 ml) vodka and 1 ounce (30 ml) coffee liqueur over the ice in the glass.
💡 Tips:
- •Adjust the ratio of vodka to coffee liqueur to your preference for a stronger or sweeter drink.
Top with cream
Gently pour 1 ounce (30 ml) heavy cream (or milk/half-and-half) over the back of a spoon onto the drink. This creates a layered effect before stirring.
💡 Tips:
- •Using heavy cream provides the richest, most indulgent texture.
Stir and serve
Stir gently to combine all ingredients until the drink takes on a uniform creamy color. Serve immediately.
💡 Tips:
- •Stir just enough to mix; over-stirring can thin the cream.
- 💡For a lighter version, use milk or half-and-half instead of heavy cream.
- 💡To make a 'Black Russian,' simply omit the cream.
- 💡Experiment with different coffee liqueurs for varied flavor profiles.
- 💡You can add a dash of chocolate bitters for extra complexity.
