White Russian
Misleadingly, this sophisticated cocktail is not in fact Russian in origin, but gets its name from vodka being the base spirit. Traditionally a Black Russian, it becomes a White Russian with the addition of cream.

Ingredients
- 60ml vodka
- 30ml coffee liqueur (eg Kahlua)
- 30ml single cream
- Freshly grated nutmeg
Step by step
- Combine the vodka, coffee liqueur and ice cubes in a cocktail shaker. Shake well and strain into an ice-filled short tumbler. Lightly beat the single cream until just frothy and pour onto the drink over the back of a spoon, to help make it float. Top with a dusting of freshly grated nutmeg. The cream will mix through the cocktail as you drink it.
