The White Russian is a drink everyone should know. It's a simple, creamy vodka mixed drink with a nice coffee flavor that makes a great after dinner sipper. If you skip the cream you'll have a Black Russian, give the White Russian a shake at the end and you have a Dirty Bird, add amaretto and you have a Roasted Toasted Almond. The related drink list to the White Russian is almost endless.

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 oz vodka
  • 3/4 oz Kahlua
  • 3/4 oz cream

Preparation:

  1. Pour the vodka and Kahlua into an old-fashioned glass filled with ice.
  2. Stir.
  3. Gently top with the cream.
