White Russian cocktail

White Russian

• The White Russian is a decadent and surprisingly easy-to-make cocktail. Combining vodka, Kahlúa and cream and serving the crowd-pleasing drink on the rocks creates a delicious alternative to adult milkshakes.
• The White Russian suffered a bit from a stodgy, antiquated reputation for a number of decades, until the 1998 movie “The Big Lebowski” came along and breathed new life into the cocktail. That is, of course, thanks to Jeff Bridges’ character, the Dude, sipping it exclusively throughout the film.
