This classic cocktail from the 1950’s is the perfect after dinner drink or afternoon pick-me-up. Let's dive into it!
A brief history lesson
The Black / White Russian is a vodka cocktail with coffee liqueur. This classic cocktail was invented back in 1949, when it was created in a hotel bar in Brussels for the American ambassador to Luxembourg.
So, the drink is not Russian in origin! It was named for the vodka and the black color of the coffee liqueur. Lets spice it up a notch with Nitro!
