The White Russian is a rich and decadent cocktail perfect for after dinner dessert. It is very easy to make. The White Russian gets it's name from the Black Russian Cocktail; the only difference really is the addition of cream. The drink was first made in the early 1960's, and has no actual Russian origin - it is American through and through. The name comes form the fact almost all vodka used to be imported from Russia.

1 ounce Kahlúa or Carolans Irish Cream

½ ounce heavy whipping cream

Recipe Note
