The White Russian Vodka, cream & coffee liqueur create an indulgent treat. This drink surely owes its ‘abiding’ popularity to the film The Big Lebowski, or more appropriately, Jeff Bridges’ character in the Cohen Brothers’ cult classic; The Dude. 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. Suggested ingredients: The vodka here is really just to act as the boozy backbone, we’ve used Ketel One because it’s in the Bomba rail - whatever your cheap and cheerful go to is will work, as long as it is crisp and clean. Kahlua is, of course, the classic so that’s what we’ve gone for here. We also used Mac by Brookie’s Macadamia and Wattleseed liqueur basically because it’s delicious and adds a beautiful toasted nut dimension, but it is entirely optional- just do equal parts vodka and coffee liqueur if you can’t find it.
