White Russian
The White Russian was created around the 1950s-60s and was first seen in print in 1965. It originally called for equal parts of vodka and the discontinued Coffee Southern. It lost popularity until the cult classic movie The Big Lebowski (1998) brought it back into the spotlight.

July 14, 2017 at 4:08 pmI like to fill my glass with as much ice as possible, then add the vodka & Kahlua… The milk usually sits quite easily – I just pour it without a spoon. Check out my new cocktail vlog for more recipes! =)
