White Russian

I found this recipe on liquor.com.

vodka, Kahlua, cream⁣

It’s totally like 80s Week, fer sure! I’m taking a break from learning about sensible classic cocktails and diving in to the world of bright colors, weird sexual names, and boozy milkshakes. ⁣

I think most of us know the main pop culture reference to this drink – The Big Lebowski, “Caucasian”, The Dude. Not as well known – this is a modern cocktail that has nothing to do with Russia (aside from vodka), and as liquor.com puts it, “The Dude Saved it from Obscurity”. ⁣

Here’s my story. I made this drink and photographed it. I sipped and enjoyed while I looked over the photos, and I realized that my camera lens was dirty, and the photos were crap. So I worked on other stuff while I finished the drink, made a second one, cleaned my lens, and took new photos. ⁣

I took my second White Russian to the computer to look over the latest photos. Sipped, edited, sipped. After a few minutes, I realized I was getting pretty tipsy. Whaaaat? It tastes so innocent, I feel like I’m at a malt shop with my beau sharing a drink with two straws. Then I thought about it…this is straight booze, the cream is really just a little decoration.⁣

Now that I realize I’ve had nearly six shots of booze while I write this, I understand why I’ve had to backspace as much as I’ve typed. In summary, this is a dangerous drink, less dangerous during quarantine, obvs, since we’re all at home, anyway. But maybe not appropriate to slam on a Thursday night with work tomorrow. Oh, and it is delicious. ⁣
