Wondering what's in a white Russian? The Big Lebowski was onto something with this creamy coffee-flavored cocktail. A healthy dose of vodka in the mix assures that 'the dude abides.'
We have a similar cocktail we call an Irish White Russian...instead of cream use Baileys Irish Cream. Very good!
I did not have kahula. I had happened to go to the store and bought a Mio energy iced mocha java the other day, and thought it might make for a decent white russian when i was considering how to use it. Boy did it ever! 1.5 oz vodka, however much milk you wish to drink,at least 5oz for a small drink, and a squirt of the Mio. Very tasty and you cant taste the liquor, it literally tastes like chocolate milk or one of those monster java drinks. I know i modified this quite a bit but i thought i'd throw this review out there as a suggestion, i will probably make my own "recipe" for it at some point because i was looking online to see if anyone had tried this yet...
A bartender told me to add one or two of drops of vanilla extract - makes it even richer and creamier.
I sub milk for the cream and only use a splash of it. Double up on the liquors. The Dude truly abides after drinking this. Careful, man, there's a beverage here.
The cream was a little thicker than I expected so I thinned it out with a little bit of milk... Delicious!
Even better with whole milk, rather than heavy cream. Actually, never tried it with heavy cream as I know what it tastes like.
Yes I will make this again for sure! I have to say, I used Kissed Caramel Vodka, Kahlua, and instead of the cream I tried Coconut milk. I put the coconut milk in a bullet mixer and it made it all creamy! Boy was this yummy!
This is a drink recipe that just shouldn’t be messed with. It’s perfect as is, no creativity required.
Added a Halloween twist to mine. Really great drink. Can adjust the liquor to be strong or mild.
Nice and simple drink. In place of cream, I use almond milk. For the coffee liqueur I use Grind. Not bad.
I've never had a White Russian before, so have nothing to compare it to, but enjoyed this drink. From the instructions, it looked like you don't mix it up, but I looked at pictures online, and it definitely was mixed up. - lol :)
Add a dash of Coke or Diet Coke (aka Colorado Bulldog) and it’s an adult float! So good and easy!
