(featured Viski barware below*)
Today we're making the White Russian! Actually we'll make it five times! This is a simple, three ingredient drink - vodka, coffee liqueur, and cream. The coffee liqueur leads the way in flavor, so you want to have the right one. We'll test this cocktail with five very different options ranging from sweat to bitter, and light to robust. Hope you all enjoy! Cheers!

Top Comments of this video!! :3
Because Mr. Black is Vodka based (instead of rum based like Kahlua), I usually sub a Demerara rum for the vodka in the cocktail, which makes a bit sweeter. That rum really tied the drink together 😉

As much as I love The Big Lebowski quotes, it was “that’ll do pig” that just brought a smile to my face.

The first cocktail I ever ordered when I turned 21 was a White Russian because I thought that's what the cool people who hung out in bars drank. Then I tried a shaken vodka martini because of James Bond.
It's amazing that didn't turn me off of the cocktail world right then and there 😅

Another great video from Anders. “He’s a good man, and thorough”

This comment section is gonna be full of Lebowski quotes, and I'm here for it!

Anders, you're out of your element! The most memorable White Russian I’ve ever had was in LA at a Jeff Bridges and the Abiders concert. To drink one in the presence of His Dudeness was mind blowing, man!

A bar I used to frequent, before it shut down, would make White Russians with melted homestyle ice cream instead of heavy cream. They were delicious, but could not even attempt to have more than one.

Those Viski glasses really tie the room together!

I live in a small African nation for my husband's work. My boss's wife loves an espresso martini so I have started making my own coffee liquor. I have made a couple batches and I find it easy and like it. More importantly, my boss's wife likes them too!

Hy Anders fan from Belgium here. The name of the hotel were the Black Russian was created is the Hotel Métropole in Brussels. It was one of the most prestigious hotels in the country in a way our version of the Ritz or the Savoy (for my fellow cocktail enthousiasts ;) ) Very Sadly the hotel has been shut down for now.

The riff I prefer to the White Russian is the Insomniac. It does involve making a shot of Espresso.
Insomniac
2/3 oz Vodka
2/3 oz Frangelico
2/3 oz Coffee Liquor (I use Mr Black)
2/3 oz Hot Espresso
2/3 oz Half and Half
Shakel with ice and strain into chilled glass

anders is a good example of someone who has a real presence on camera. charisma is an elusive thing, but one could use these videos to explain it to someone who didn’t understand it. i don’t drink at all, but i still enjoy these videos.

“So you have no frame of reference here, Donny.“ - I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve used this in actual conversations when someone wanders in and wants to know what we’re talking about. Thanks for the videos! I love the channel.

Anders, this is a fantastic channel! I don’t even drink anymore, but love watching what you do. I have all of the notifications turned on!

Because Kahlua is rum-based, and because I share that meh feeling about vodka, I long ago switched out the vodka for rum, generally Bacardi black (Ann Burrell's dictum that brown food is good food applies equally well to drink IMHO).
I did likewise with the Black Russian, only I found it too sweet. I finally settled on half a jigger of Kahlua, a jigger of black rum, and a couple dashes of bitters, over ice. I call it Liquid Schwartz.

I believe Tia Maria was originally Jamaican and is now made in Italy.

Love all your videos! My husband and I watch them every week now we have a fully stocked bar and are the couple always put in charge of the cocktails at social gatherings
|
Enjoying the comparison/experiment videos! Thanks for doing them.
And, the exit music really caught my attention in this one.

Great simple comparison video. I really like you didnt try to "sugar coat" the descriptions and left the fine tuning as an "exercise for the student". I too recently tried a white Russian with a local (western USA) produced coffee liqueur and it too lacked the sweetness needed t tie the drink together. We "solved" this by adding a splash of "whipped vodka" (dont even recall why i had that on hand) and the touch of sweet and vanilla really worked.
I guess one of these days i really should watch the Big Lebowski
