A White Russian is a classic cocktail made with three main ingredients: vodka, coffee liqueur (such as Kahlúa), and cream. It is typically served over ice in an old-fashioned glass. The drink is known for its creamy texture and rich coffee flavor, making it a popular choice for dessert cocktails. The White Russian gained significant popularity in the late 20th century, particularly after being featured in the 1998 film The Big Lebowski. Its simple preparation and indulgent taste have made it a favorite among cocktail enthusiasts and casual drinkers alike.
