Notes
Too boozy? Add another splash of cream and stir it in.
Dairy-free version: Use your favorite non-dairy substitute. I like almond milk or lactose-free milk.
Black Russian: This version doesn’t include any cream. It’s just coffee liqueur and vodka.
Frozen White Russian: Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top instead of mixing the drink with ice.
Non-alcoholic White Russian: For a non-alcoholic version, use zero-proof coffee liqueur, such as Lyre’s Coffee Originale, and zero-proof vodka, such as Strykk Not Vodka.
