Black Russian
1 part
vodka
1 part
Kahlua
Over
ice in a lowball
glass. A drink that is both
sickly and
strong. Some
drinking establishments sell
Tia Maria and
vodka, with or without
cola, as a Black Russian. It isn't, and it tastes even more sickly. Don't do it, kids.
White Russian
1 part
vodka
1 part
Kahlua
1 part
cream
or, alternatively
1 part
vodka
1 part
white creme de cacao
1 part
cream
nutmeg
The
Kahlua version seems to be more
popular, and is stirred and served over ice in a lowball
glass. A less
acute version substitutes two parts of
milk for the
cream.
The more
traditional creme de cacao variant is shaken with
ice, and then
strained into a
martini glass and
decorated with
nutmeg shavings. Go easy on the shaking, as it might cause
curdling.
