I am totally mystified by this node. I used to drink White Russians exclusively. However the recipe we used and the one we were served in bars and restaurants went something like this:

White Russian


1 jigger vodka
1 ounce white crème de cacao
1 ounce heavy cream

Serve over ice cubes in an old-fashioned glass.


The three "white" liquids is what makes it a White Russian vs. a Black Russian. Maybe it has something to do with where you drink them or the style and recipes of the Mixologists. I am not saying the one listed above is wrong, it is just different from the ones I am familiar with. Here is another Kahlua and cream drink you might also enjoy. Kahlua Egg Cream
