Russia
Name This Cocktail
I have been wracking my brain on this one for a while now. Not too long ago, Mike and I spent some quality time messing with cocktails and Crown Royal Reserve. We're still working on a couple of ideas, but one early test was to replace the Vodka in a White Russian.
Looking back at it now, it seems like a no-brainer and obvious, but it seems that nobody has named this cocktail. The combination of rich and smooth Canadian whiskey with sweet Café con leche just works.
Last year I wrote:
Messing with anything besides a vanilla vodka in this context will probably constitute alcohol abuse.
Well, I was wrong. I can admit that, happily.
- 5.0 cl (5 parts) Crown Royal Reserve
- 2.0 cl (2 parts) Coffee liqueur
- 3.0 cl (3 parts) Fresh cream or Half and Half
Pour coffee liqueur and whiskey over ice into an old fashioned glass. Float fresh cream on the top and stir in slowly.
