The White Russian is a super easy drink to mix, since it only has a couple of ingredients. Even the variations are relatively simple recipes to make. That said, getting things just right is still an art form in itself. Luckily, you’re not alone. Here are some tips and tricks from our Cocktail Pros to getting your favorite version of the White Russian absolutely perfect.
Customize your own White Russian
Our White Russain recipes are all tried and tested, and then tested again. However, there’s always room for some personalization. After all, it’s your drink, your choice. Here are some tips and tricks from our Cocktail Pros to getting your favorite version of the White Russian just the way you like it.
Add some flavor into the mix
If you’re looking for an easy way to spice up your White Russian, add some cinnamon or nutmeg into the mix for a more aromatic taste. We also love using flavored vodkas like Absolut Vanilia for a delicious twist.
Try non-dairy alternatives
Almost all of the White Russian variations contain cream or milk. If you, like us, love plant-based dairy alternatives, we suggest trying out almond or oat options for the cream, milk or even ice cream.
Get creative with the garnishes
While the White Russian is typically un-garnished, that shouldn’t stop you from adding your own personal touch. We think chocolate shavings, whipped cream, or even marshmallows are top contenders for sprucing up your cocktail.
Choose the best quality cream
The cream is a key component of a White Russian and makes a huge difference to the texture and flavor. That’s why we strongly recommend going for a high-quality heavy cream or half-and-half for the best results. You can also use milk if you prefer, but it’s not the same. try using milk or a non-dairy alternative like almond or oat milk.
