White Russian
Ideal for after dinner, the White Russian became famous among young people because it was the most popular...
favorite drink of The Dude, the star of The Great Lebowski. We're showing you his recipe today.
Where does a cocktail called White Russian come from? From Russia, right? Well, I don't. It gets its name because the main ingredient is vodka, a favorite drink of the Russians, but the first public mention of White Russian takes place in the Oakland Tribune of California in 1965. Why it's not called White California, then, is a question you shouldn't ask yourself, unless you know the answer. We don't, but we do know the ingredients.
5.0 cl of Vodka
2.0 cl of coffee liqueur
3.0 cl of fresh cream (if you have a sweet tooth, add condensed milk)
Its preparation is very simple: pour the coffee liqueur and vodka directly into a whisky glass filled with ice. And add the fresh cream to float on the surface. Stir it slowly and consume it, in moderation, after dinner. If there's no milk in the cocktail, then it's called Black Russian. Many have not broken their heads.... Apart from The Dude (The Great Lebowski), another fictional character addicted to White Russian is Moss, one of the stars of The It Crowd, the British comedy
