White Russian

… which you make by pouring 5 cl of vodka, 2 cl of coffee liqueur and 3cl of cream over ice (according to the IBA).


Since I’m not anal about things like proportions I usually mix to taste and I use milk, not cream, because cream tends to stick to the roof of your mouth. A White Russian should be enjoyed ice cold, with your feet up after hard day’s work.


I recommend pairing it with The Big Lebowski by the Cohen brothers, in which White Russian is practically a main character.
