Although the Big Lebowski helped to re-popularize the White Russian around 1998, the Cohen Brothers nor Jeff Lebowski himself were responsible for the creation of this Cocktail. This one dates all the way back to 1949 when Bartender Gustav Tops created the cocktail, along with it's counterpart the Black Russian ( a White Russian without any cream) at the Hotel Metropole in Brussels in honor of Perle Mesta who was then the US Ambassador to Luxembourg.
In this episode I decided to reconstruct the White Russian, using some craft ingredients and giving it a little bit slicker appearance. I want to stress that I am not advertising for the brands I use in the video, I use them because I stand by them as quality spirits that maybe some of you have yet to try.
Another quick note: Mr. Black is Coffee liqueur is lower in sugar content, it is not sweet. I opted to not add simple syrup to this as I usually drink my coffee without sugar. If you want a bit of sweetness simply add a half ounce of simple syrup to the cocktail and give it a quick stir before layering the cream on. Also, if you would like to kick the cream up a notch add 1oz of Creme de CoCo and 1oz of Irish Cream (I use Carolans) to the squeeze bottle before you hand whip.
Also, I have to post a small retraction. Prairie Vodka is not from Wisconsin it is from Minnesota. My apologies on the mistake!
The Specs:
2oz or 60ml Vodka
1oz or 30ml Coffee Liqueur
Rocks Glass/Top with Cream
