White Russian cocktail recipe

A White Russian is a sweet cocktail classically made with vodka, coffee liqueur, and cream served with ice in an Old Fashioned glass.

The traditional cocktail known as a Black Russian, which first appeared in 1949, becomes a White Russian with the addition of cream. Neither drink is Russian in origin, but both are so named due to vodka being the primary ingredient. It is unclear which drink preceded the other.

White Russian Ingredients:

-  1 jigger Vodka
-  ½ jigger Coffee liqueur
-  ½ jigger fresh cream

Preparation:

-  Fill an Old Fashioned glass with ice.
-  Pour coffee liqueur and vodka into the glass.
-  Float fresh cream on top and stir slowly.
