Black Russian

Vodka
Drink: Black Russian

This week’s cocktail couldn’t be simpler. Kahlua and vodka combine to create a slightly sweet, rich drink that has a smooth finish. Vodka brings a neutral flavor, letting the coffee notes in the Kahlua be the hero flavor of this classic cocktail. The Black Russian is simple, refreshing, and an easy win after a long day.

Ingredients

  • 1.5 oz. vodka
  • ¾ oz. Kahlua, or other coffee flavored liqueur

Preparation

  1. Pour the ingredients into a highball glass with ice cubes, and stir.
