Step 1: You will need…

  • 50 ml Vodka
  • 25 ml coffee liqueur
  • 25 ml single cream
  • ice
  • short glass
  • cocktail shaker
  • 25ml (1fl oz) bar measure

Step 2: Vodka

Put 50ml or 2fl oz of vodka into the mixing glass

Step 3: Coffee Liqueur

Then add 25ml or 1fl oz of coffee liqueur

Step 4: Cream

Now add 25ml or 1 fl oz of single cream

Step 5: Ice

Fill your serving glass and mixing glass with ice

Step 6: Shake

Put the top half of the shaker on, pressing down firmly to seal. Hold the top and bottom and shake vigorously over your shoulder for about 20 seconds.
When there is condensation on the outside of the shaker and it feels very cold, you know that the cocktail is thoroughly mixed.

Step 7: Release

Tap the shaker to loosen the two halves. Release the top by rocking it back and forth.

Step 8: Serve

Strain the cocktail over the ice, and serve.

Step 9: Variations

Experiment with the quantities to get your perfect mix. You could also try milk as an alternative to cream. Leaving out cream or milk altogether creates a Black Russian.

    Disappointed man. You don't shake a White Russian at the end as it then turns it into a Dirty Bird

    Kahlua is the coffee that was available to the "White Russians" (they were anti-russians) So kahlua is just another name for Coffee Liqueur

    I've been making these since 92, and yes it's better to stir this drink and not shake! Shake it and ruin it, stir it and enjoy one of the best drinks around. I strongly recommend a Freddy Fudpucker, also another top drink along with Killer Kool Aid. Enjoy ;)

    it's better to stir a white russian, and not shake it. the vodka mixes better with the cream/milk
