Caucasian

More popularly known as a White Russian, this drink was made popular for many people by its inclusion in the film The Big Lebowski. The main character, known as the Dude and masterfully played by Jeff Bridges, is seen drinking these constantly and to the exclusion of all else. In fact, we even see him mixing one up for breakfast. Now I don’t recommend going that far, but every time I watch that movie I mix one or two up just to get into the right mood.

The reason the I’ve chosen to post as Caucasian instead of White Russian is that at one point the Dude clearly requests “another caucasian” from the bartender at the bowling alley he and his friends patronize. Anyway, on with the recipe.

Recipe:

2 oz. Vodka
1 oz. Kahlúa
3 oz. Milk

Pour in order over ice and stir. Don’t bother too much about being precise with the measurements, it’s meant to be a quick fix.

Notes:

Tastes kind of like a coffee milkshake. I’ve taken the measurements from the breakfast scene, which I’m recalling from memory. Alter it to your taste, or you can find a recipe on the back label of a Kahlúa bottle.

Rating:

- I like it.
