Description
Black Russian is a vodka drink that is famous all around the world because of its white brother "White Russian". Coffee liqueur is the flavouring agent and vodka is responsible for the high alcohol content of about 35%. You can taste that it is a strong cocktail, one to drink in small sips, however, in a blind test no one would even roughly estimate the real amount of alcohol.
Coffee liqueur and vodka complements perfectly, mixed, the best characteristics of both spirits stand out. Coffee liqueur is pure quite sweet and the coffee flavour is barely enjoyable. Vodka, in fact a neutral spirit, has too much taste of ethanol for most people. The mixture has a delicious and only faintly sweetish taste of coffee and you aren't knocked down by the ethanol flavour.
Everybody who likes White Russian has to try out Black Russian. Leaving out cream or milk results in a way lighter drink. We recommend Black Russians after a meal instead of coffee, after dinner or if you can afford after lunch.
