The White Russian: It’s a cocktail fitting for the Czars and the Oval Office. Well, maybe an orange Russian would be a better fit for the latter.

It’s thick, creamy, and loaded with coffee and chocolate notes. It isn’t just for royalty. Dudes, the Dude, or any el duderino will suffice. The main and only ingredients needed are vodka, Kahlua or any coffee liqueur, and heavy cream. Start with an Old Fashioned glass and add 2 ounces of vodka, an ounce of Kahlua, and top it off with cream, then enjoy.

It’s the perfect drink to enjoy casually after a night of bowling, or perhaps while reminiscing about a lost rug that really tied the room together. It may not pair well with nihilism, the Eagles, or pet ferrets, but it is one of our favorite cocktails. Try it for yourself. If you don’t like it, then, well, that’s just like, your opinion, man.
