White Russian is a great option for those who love to drink after work or before dinner. This drink is made from vodka, cream and coffee liqueur. The combination of these ingredients gives the drink its velvety texture and sweet, coffee-flavored taste.
While the classic drink can be made quickly, there are many different variations. You can make it with Kahlua instead of vodka, or you can swap out the cream for milk, or you can even add coconut cream or amaretto liqueur. You can avoid these common mistakes to make your drink more enjoyable.
