Rich, Indulgent & Abiding - How to make a White Russian

Вставка
  • Опубліковано 13 сер 2024
  • If it weren’t for The Big Lebowski this drink would probably have fallen slowly out of fashion along with many others of its era, but the Dude abides and therefore so does his drink. In Glasgow there’s even a Lebowski’s bar with about 30 different variations on the menu!

    0:17 - History
    1:50 - Ingredients / Recipe chat
    3:10 - Make
    4:09 - Tasting notes
    5:26 - Recipe card
    SPECS:
    30ml (1oz) vodka
    20ml (2/3oz) coffee liqueur
    10ml (1/3oz) Macadamia and Wattleseed liqueur (optional, but up the coffee liqueur if not)
    30ml cream
    Nutmeg to garnish (optional)
    The original recipe calls for cream, although many people will make it with milk which obviously makes it less rich. If you’re using milk you could definitely lengthen it out a little without overpowering the other flavours.
    EQUIPMENT:
    A jigger
    A rocks glass
    Good ice
    METHOD:
    Add your vodka and liqueurs to the glass and place your large ice cube in.
    Slowly pour the cream in over the ice if you want to create a layered effect, otherwise just add the cream with everything else.
    Grate a little nutmeg over the top if you like, and serve.

    A nice variation I found when I lived in Vancouver Island was equal parts vodka, coffee liqueur, espresso or cold coffee, and cream. Usually, 1oz of each served over ice and downed through a straw. Tasty, and a nice lower alcohol way to start a night out.

    Went to a costume party once, dressed as The Dude. I brought a secondhand rug as party gift for the host, and I was kitted out in pajama pants, a tattered robe and flip flops. I skipped shaving for a week before the party, and besides the tangled wig I wore, I also let my beard get all messy and unkempt. I brough a bottle of Kaluha, a bottle of vodka, and a bottle of full fat milk, and then spent the entire evening slouching in the sofa, doling out quasi intellectual advice and downing countless White Russians.
    It was hands down the most comfortable I have ever been at a party!

    I don't stock vodka in my home bar, so I usually make this with white rum because the mild sweetness works with it and it has more character. I guess it is a White Cuban :) I never thought of adding a nut liqueur, though, that's brilliant! Plus with floating the cream and adding the nutmeg garnish, you really elevated this cocktail.

    There's a variant that's popular here. We add a splash of Coke on top and call it a "Colorado Bulldog." Most of the dive bars don't stock cream (or even half and half) and the Coke tends to curdle the milk a little, but it's still palatable.

I make my own sugar-free coffee liqueur (with Vodka, Stevia & Inst. Espresso), though... so having the Vodka, cream, & mock-a-luah all on hand, I just now made one AND added the sprinkle of nutmeg! What a lovely SCENT-sational surprise! Thank you for this share, Behind the Bar! Maybe another time I'll try adding the other liqeur (unless, of course, it has high carbs!)!

  • @priitmolder6475
    @priitmolder6475 3 роки тому +1

    One simple step to make this a bit better is to make your own coffee liquor. 1 part by volume coffee beans to 2 parts by volume vodka. Medium and dark roasts only. Light roast wont work well. 3 days for infused vodka that you can drink and 4-5 days for a liquor for mixing (at room temp, away from sun, shake 1-2 times a day). If you go longer than 5 days, you start to extract too much of the bitter and sour compounds. Mix in simple syrup to taste (or leave it neat as is). You get the best of all the worlds: fresh coffee liquor without the "stale" taste of a god knows how long on the shelf bottle. Cold brew smoothness. And you can choose your favorite roast/blend/taste to enjoy. If you start this weekend, you will have a kick ass liquor for Christmas...

    Obviously whatever floats your boat works but I've made a lot of white russians for the last 3 decades and I'd have to say that cream is too heavy and whole milk is too light. What I think is the best compromise is "half and half". At least what is marketed by the dairies in California is 1.5g fat per 15ml vs. 6g for heavy cream. You could naturally make us your own mix to dial in the proportions of fat but this works really well out of the carton.

    This is so delicious, although Sweden doesn't have the nutty liqueur you used. Your proportions saves the drink. 😋 Many use more vodka and since vodka is quite flavourless it really ruins the drink if there is too much of it. I tried also this drink with bourbon instead - so yum. White American? It's like an inverted Irish Coffee - cold whiskey with coffee instead of hot coffee with whiskey. It's like you said, you can't go wrong with this combination, any way you do.
    And speaking of products not available here - on Monday Mr Black will be released here. Counting down. 😃

    When I learned the Russians the prescribed ratio was 5:2. It still works well for me. I put two and a half oz of vodka and one oz of coffee liqueur (I prefer Patron XO Cafe with 35% abv). I can’t imagine how overly sweet your drink is!
    Also, I like my (black otherwise) coffee with lemon. If you twist a lemon in your Black Russian it becomes Black Magic, and it is the best!

      It’s not overly sweet actually, which honestly surprised me, but dairy is a soak for sweetness- think how much sugar goes in to making ice cream. It actually balanced really nicely with the drier, nutty liqueur too. I’ll have to try the lemon!

      @@BehindtheBar By the way, the nut liqueur thing is new to me, I have to try that. I love nuts, just not the macadamia ones. I’ll do mine with Fratello 🙂

    I never thought to add grated nutmeg, but after viewing this , I gave it a shot - It adds a nice spicy hint. I've tried grated chocolate, but it just floated on top without dissolving (obviously) and not adding anything to the taste. BTW, the best White Russian I've ever ordered was at the Red Square restaurant in the Mandalay Bay, Las Vegas. My one recommendation, if you're like me and drink these very rarely (due to high calories and fat) - avoid the Kahlua and buy an all natural, froofy, hand-crafted, local coffee liquor. There SO many better option on the shelf than Kahlua.

    Why don't you try to use cachaça on your drinks? It's a Brazilian distilled made out of sugar cane , and it's a very popular spirit here in brazil. You should try caipirinha as well

    Well the nutmeg and Nut Liqueur are not a "White Russian" ingredients but nice spin on the cocktail.
