Every Christmas I make White Russians. They're crap in bars because they use too much milk which ruins them, everyone wants a share of your jug so you need to buy three jugs to make it worthwhile.

So I've refined my recipe over the past few years. Dead simple, and probably just like everyone else makes them, but who cares, thought I'd share.

2 parts Vodka
1 part Kahlua Coffee Liqueur
1 part single cream
1 part milk
ice cubes (essential imo)

Mix it up and drink it :) This recipe is slightly Vodka heavy, but I like it with a kick, and too much Kahlua can be a bit overpowering. Still, you might wish to tweak.

If you've never had a White Russian before I strongly recommend you remedy this sad situation asap. First time I was offered one I'd already been drinking for 15 years and I hugged the guy who introduced me to them. It's like a party on your taste buds.

It would probably be wise of me at this point to reiterate the importance of responsible drinking during the holiday period. But nuts to that, I'm going to get soaked :)
 
Me and a friend have been meaning to make some of these.
Where's the best place to get Kahlua?

In the supermarket, I know Tesco stock it :)

Little tip to add, don't use crap, cheap vodka. It ruins anything vodka-based which is meant to taste good. Smirnoff at the very least!
 
My g/f loves these drinks! Good thing about over here is that they don't use measures ;) she normally has to ask for a little bit more cream.

Best.Drink.Ever.
 
Been meaning to try this for ages. Actually meant to try it the last time I was in a bar that did cocktails but ended up drinking 7 or 8 Long Island Ice Teas..
 
The last time I ordered a white russian, the bint behind the bar handed me something made from lemonade. I politely enquired where the **** they make white russians with lemonade...

Anyway, great drinks.

Try "the font" in Manchester from the short time i was there i remember they made a good black, and white Russian.

Although I've never been allowed back to verify this :o
 
2 for 1 cocktail nights usually just mean half price Long Island Iced Teas to me, but I tried a white russian for the first time a couple of months and was pleasantly surprised, I thought it was going to be absolutely awful!

No i got in a fight (entirely not my fault i might add) and the stupid **** decided the best way to show he was angry was to throw is glass across the room hitting an unfortunate fella in the back of the neck

Result, me being dragged out and being punched in the gut a few times by the bouncers while he got off :/
 
Hey at least you weren't so drunk that you pretented to hide behind a bar stool while laughing at the guy trying to punch you and shouting to the barmaid, "don't worry, he can't see me!".

I've done something very similar to that, but involving a pool table my mate, and a cue :o

Didn't get thrown out though :D

you dont add 1 part milk...

the recipe above is fine, but you dont put 1 part cream and 1 part milk. u only put 1 part cream... or you can do half and half so 0.5 part of each...

and ofcourse large ice cubes just to be more accurate! :D
