BLACK RUSSIAN, COLA BLACK RUSSIAN AND WHITE RUSSIAN
I found these recipes in the April 2008 issue of the magazine 'Australian Good Taste'. Apparently, this coffee-flavoured cocktail was first mixed at the Hotel Metropole in Brussels in 1949. Cola Black Russian and White Russian with Vodka and Cream are obviously direct descendants of Black Russian! How much cola you use in Cola Black Russian and how much cream you use in White Russian with Vodka and Cream will obviously depend both on the size of your glass and the portions that best suit your taste preferences! There is an inconsistency in the spelling of "'Kahlúa" in this recipe because Zaar would not accept this spelling in the list of ingredients. Intriguing! Not to worry: just relax and enjoy your choice of Black Russian, Cola Black Russian or White Russian With Vodka and Cream.

Steps:
- Fill a large bowl with ice and water, and set aside. Place 2 cups milk in a small saucepan set over medium-high heat, and bring to a boil. Place the egg yolks and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, and whip until pale and thick. Add the hot milk, whisking constantly, in a slow stream. Return the mixture to the pot, and cook, stirring constantly, over medium-low heat, until thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon. Immediately add 1 cup cream and the remaining 1 1/2 cups milk, and transfer mixture to the ice bath.
- When ready to serve, add the vodka and Kahlua. Whip the remaining cup cream to soft peaks. Divide the eggnog among six cups, and garnish with whipped cream. Serve.

Spread this evenly over the chocolate layer. Pour the remaining chocolate mixture over the top of this. You can make a pattern of stripes or swirl the chocolate with a toothpick.
- Bake for 35 to 45 minutes in the preheated oven. When brownies are cool, brush with the remaining 1/4 cup of coffee liqueur.

Tips:
- Use fresh coffee: Freshly brewed coffee will give your White Russian a richer, more complex flavor. If you don't have time to brew a fresh pot, you can use cold brew coffee instead.
- Choose a good quality vodka: A good vodka will make your White Russian smoother and more enjoyable to drink. Look for a vodka that is at least 80 proof.
- Use real cream: Real cream will give your White Russian a richer, creamier texture. If you don't have real cream, you can use half and half instead.
- Don't over-shake the cocktail: Shaking the cocktail too much will make it watery and dilute the flavors. Shake the cocktail just until the ingredients are combined.
- Serve the cocktail immediately: White Russians are best served immediately after they are made. The ice will melt and dilute the cocktail if you let it sit for too long.
Conclusion:
The White Russian is a classic cocktail that is easy to make and delicious to drink. With its creamy, sweet, and boozy flavor, it's the perfect drink for any occasion. Whether you're hosting a party or just relaxing at home, the White Russian is sure to be a hit.
