May 11-White Russian

It might be crazy to say this when we looked at the Gin & Tonic yesterday but we are discussing one of the easier cocktails we will discuss this summer. Today we look at the White Russian. I say this cocktail is easy because it’s only 3 ingredients and you don’t even need a shaker or mixing glass for this one. It is built straight in the glass. By the way I happen to be writing this on Mother’s Day so I am glad that we are talking about one of my grandmother’s favourites.

No one really knows much of the history of the White Russian except that it is definitely a successor to the Black Russian and it probably started in Boston. Obviously the name comes from the white colour the milk gives the drink as well as the main spirit being vodka which is most associated with Russia.

The main thing I donm’t like about this cocktail is the look. I have met people who think its a beauty but I personally disagree as I think it looks like oil in snow from far away and closer isn’t much better. It looks like what it is, non stirred coffee with creamer. Again sorry for the shorter post but I had a hectic week at work.
