Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
Before making a cocktail, you first need to prepare ice and cool the glasses. In the recipe, I used ready-made purchased ice. You can make it at home, to do this, pour drinking water into molds and send it to the freezer until it completely solidifies.It is customary to serve White Russian in glasses of "rocks" (i.e. in low wide glasses with a thick bottom, whiskey with ice is served in such glasses).
Step 2:
Measure out the right amount of vodka, coffee liqueur and cream. I used fat cream in the recipe (30%).
Step 3:
Fill the glasses almost to the top with ice cubes.
Step 4:
If you have too large pieces of ice, then they can be slightly crushed. To do this, put the right amount of cubes in a thick cellophane bag and break large pieces with a kitchen hammer.
Step 5:
Pour the first layer of vodka into the glass with a thin stream.
Step 6:
Then pour the coffee liqueur.
Step 7:
And make the last layer of cream. Pour them in very carefully so that the border between liqueur with vodka and cream is preserved as much as possible, so when serving the cocktail it will look incredibly beautiful. Insert a cocktail tube into each glass.
Step 8:
"White Russian" ready, you can serve.
Step 9:
Just before use, stir the cocktail with a straw in your glass to mix all the layers as much as possible and enjoy a coffee and cream drink!
Originally in 1949, the cocktail "Black Russian" appeared, its main components were coffee liqueur and vodka.
Later, in the 60s, the first mention of the cocktail "White Russian" appears, it contains everything the same as in Black, only they also began to add cream. According to modern recipes, it is customary to use cream only fresh, not whipped.
The cocktail became especially popular after the release of the movie "The Big Lebowski".
The amount of alcohol in a glass can and should be adjusted according to your taste and preferences. For me, the cocktail seemed a little strong and in the next preparation I completely excluded vodka for myself, it turned out to be a good variation of "White Russian" with a milder taste.
Choose the most successful proportions for yourself and enjoy the unique taste!
