Ingredients

  • 3 oz. vodka
  • 4 oz. Kahlúa
  • 5 oz. half and half - or a dairy option of your choosing
  • ice - I made round ice cubes

Instructions

  • Prep ice cubes in advance (optional). Make some large ice cubes a day before you make these cocktails. This is an optional step but really nice. Ice cube trays are linked below.
  • Prep glasses. Choose some pretty cocktail glasses for these cocktails and add one large ice cube to each one.
  • Add ingredients. To each glass, pour in the vodka, Kahlua, and half and half. Stir to combine.
  • Sip. Sip and savor this delicious cocktail!

Notes

  • A White Russian is typically served in an old-fashioned or rocks glass. But get creative and use anything because there are no rules!
  • Adjust the ratio of vodka for a stronger/weaker drink or add more cream/milk for a creamier/lighter version.
