Black Russian
The Black Russian supposedly first appeared in Brussels in 1949. It’s a wonderfully simple cocktail – just vodka and Kahlua over ice. This is one of the easiest recipes for tinkering: try a different coffee liqueur, or a flavored vodka (vanilla is great), add a splash of cola, use equal amounts of vodka and liqueur, or you can even add a scoop of chocolate ice cream into this drink.
Ingredients
- 45 ml Vodka
- 45 ml Kahlua, or other coffee flavored liqueur
Instructions
- Pour the ingredients into a glass with ice cubes, and stir.
- Serve with a straw (Some bartenders prefer to pour the vodka, then the coffee liqueur, and let it settle without stirring.)
