A White Russian is a classic cocktail made with vodka, coffee liqueur, and cream. It is a popular after-dinner drink and is often served in a chilled glass.
The White Russian is believed to have originated in the 1940s at the Hotel Metropole in Moscow. It was originally called the “Black Russian,” but the name was changed to “White Russian” in the 1960s to make it more appealing to Western audiences. The White Russian became popular in the United States in the 1970s, thanks in part to its appearance in the film “The Big Lebowski.”
