White Russian - the Defibrilator

Beware of the White Bear

 It dates back to 1949, when it first appeared. By this time they called it Black Russian, but later they added cream to the recipe, which made the drink White. Its origin is unclear, but it surely didn't come from Russia. It is called Russian, because the main ingredient is the Vodka, which comes from there.

 The first recipe of how to make White Russian was published at 21th November, 1965 in a newspaper, somewhere in California. This is the classic recipe of the cocktail and it calls for: "Equal parts of Coffe Southern, Vodka and Cream", where Southern is trademark of Coffee liqueur.

 The way you mix the ingredients depends on your style, but as long as this cocktail has no juices, all you have to do is stir. Maybe you can shake the cream, so it gets thin, but this is not necessary. Nowadays it is thought that White Russian is one of the best cocktails for dudes. Is this better than Old Fashioned, when it comes to young people's taste?
