A classic White Russian cocktail made with coffee liqueur, vodka and either cream or milk.

White Russian

coffee flavored liqueur

vodka

½ cup cream or milk

In a mixing glass, combine the coffee flavored liqueur, vodka and cream or milk. Pour over ice in a highball glass.


The proportions are perfect in this recipe, provided you use GOOD vodka.  If you are above the age of 40, you have probably found a premium vodka you can enjoy straight, or over ice.  Use this one!    However, if you are in your early 20's and it's more of a challenge just to see how much of the cheapest liquor available you CAN possibly drink and still get up the next day, , then you will definitely want to adjust up the measures of Coffee Liqueur and Cream.  I was 20 once.  I remember.  I'm 45 now and I drink premium liquor at a much slower pace!

White Russian is possibly the best drink in the world. After making about two dozen I decided that the best proportion is 2 Tbsps vodka 3 Tbsp Coffee Liqueur 3 Tbsp cream(lightly beaten or you can use shaker if you have one) 3 Tbsp milk lots of ice And don't forget the straw!

HINT! SWITCH OUT THE KAHLUA FOR STARBUCKS COFFEE LIQUEUR! IT IS 40 PROOF AND MADE FROM 100% REAL STARBUCKS HOUSEBLEND COFFEE! IT MAKES KAHLUA TASTE REALLY BAD!!! TRY IT!!!!!!!

I guess I will have to tell on myself here! I have gulped down more White Russians in my day than I probably should mention! I think they taste better with a double dose of the Kahlua and are much tastier when half and half is used in place of milk. And just the other day when I discovered I had ran out of half and half I topped one off with Irish Cream liqueur. It was the best one I had ever had!

Perfect for drinking while watching "The Big Lebowski." However I prefer mine with 1 oz vodka to 1 1/2 oz kahlua. Very tasty.

These are good with a half shot more kahlua than vodka rather than equal parts as this recipe calls for. Also I always use milk because I always have it on hand.

Love White Russians. They are my fave card night with the girls drink. I add just a little chocolate syrup taste amazing!!

I got a margarita machine for Christmas and we used it to make this drink for our New Years Eve guests. Talk about a coffee milk shake!! YUM! I had a bad experience with Black Russians many moons ago so I no drink the coffee flavored liquors but I did have a taste and OMG was it ever delish! BTW fat free half and half works really well with this. Thank you!!

Try with vanilla flavored vodka. Amazing! I was also a bartender for a few months and have put a splash of coke in it. It makes the flavors kind of pop. Its really unexplainable but very good.

easy on the cream... the recipe should be two parts vodka 1 part coffee liqueur and a splash of heavy cream. The recipe as is is pretty much just a glass of milk.
