Classic White Russian Cocktail Recipe
A White Russian cocktail isn't just a drink; it's a statement. Known for its creamy texture and rich flavor, this cocktail has been a favorite since its creation in the 1960s. It's simple, yet sophisticated, combining vodka, coffee liqueur, and cream to create a delightful experience for your taste buds.
Ingredients
- 2 oz vodka 60 ml
- 2 oz coffee liqueur 60 ml (such as Kahlúa)
- 2 oz heavy cream 60 ml or half-and-half
- Ice cubes
Directions
- Start by filling an old-fashioned rocks glass with ice cubes. This will keep your White Russian cocktail cold.
- Pour 2 ounces (60 ml) of vodka over the ice in the glass.
- Next, pour 2 ounces (60 ml) of coffee liqueur (e.g., Kahlúa) into the glass.
- Then pour 2 ounces (60 ml) of heavy cream or half-and-half over the back of a spoon or by drizzling it gently over the coffee liqueur. This creates a beautiful layering effect with the cream floating on top of the darker liquids.
- Use a cocktail stirrer or a long spoon to gently stir the ingredients together. Be careful not to mix too vigorously, as you want to maintain the layered appearance with the cream on top.
