Steps:
- 1. Ingredients: •1 jigger (1.5 oz or 3 tablespoons) vodka (nutritional analysis uses 80 proof) •1 jigger heavy cream (or see proportion variations below) •1 jigger Da Vinci's Sugar-Free Kahlua-Flavored Syrup (sources below) Preparation: There are two main variations in the amounts of the main ingredients of a White Russian. The first has two parts vodka to one part each of the other two ingredients. The other has equal parts of all three. I prefer the latter, so that is the one I am presenting. If I want a cocktail that is less rich, I will substitute water for half of the cream. This would reduce the carbohydrate to half a gram and the calories to 174. To make your White Russian, simple put the ingredients in a glass, stir, and add ice.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the taste of your White Russian.
- Use chilled ingredients. Cold vodka, coffee liqueur, and cream will make a smoother, more refreshing cocktail.
- Don't over-shake your White Russian. A few quick shakes is all it takes to combine the ingredients.
- Serve your White Russian immediately. It's best enjoyed fresh.
- Garnish your White Russian with a dusting of cocoa powder or grated nutmeg. This will add a touch of flavor and elegance to your cocktail.
Conclusion:
The White Russian is a classic cocktail that is easy to make and delicious to drink. With its creamy, coffee-flavored goodness, it's the perfect drink to enjoy after dinner or as a nightcap. So next time you're looking for a tasty and refreshing cocktail, give the White Russian a try. You won't be disappointed.
