White Russian

The White Russian

Back in the days

Here it is, the White Russian. Unlike the (bad) Finnish version of this great drink, here it is how it should be. What you need is:

• 2cl quality vodka
• 2cl Kahlúa
• 2cl fresh cream

Just pour the vodka, the Kahlúa and finally the fresh cream into a tumbler filled with a few ice cubes. Stirring is not necessary. Now here you have an excellent drink. The Kahlúa really gives a very deep and aromatic coffee taste to it with a side note of cocoa. I could easily drink a few of these at a time, but due to the drink's "heaviness", less is more.

An another White Russian in 2013. This time my proportions were as follows:

• 5 cl vodka
• 4 cl Kahlúa
• fresh cream

You could add a straw and sip it slowly and if you necessarily want to use a garnish, consider a cocktail cherry (color-wise looks fantastic). Altering the proportions can make different-tasting cocktails as per personal taste.
