I'm quite a recent convert to White Russians, but I do like a good cocktail: it helps ease you into your evening, it's a threshold between work and play. Are we pre-cocktail or post cocktail? Very different times of day.So how do you mix your White Russians?Here's mine.Take a hi-ball glass out of the freezer and fill it about a third of the way up with ice.Add two measures* of vodka.Add a measure of whatever coffee liqueur you've got (I make my own).Top up with semi-skimmed milk - got to keep the body limber as well as the mind. Pour the milk down the side of the glass so that it floats on top, giving it that split-level latte lookalike thing.I make the coffee liqueur by making a pint of espresso (takes about 1/3 to 1/2 a pound of coffee to make it), adding about 1/2 a pound of sugar, simmering it in a pan until the sugar is dissolved, let it cool, then add a vanilla pod and about 20 - 30 coffee beans. Add a bottle of dark rum and pour into a Kilner jar or similar. Put it in a cupboard for a month or so, turning it over every few days. Strain it through a coffee filter paper and bottle the sucker.*A measure... hmmm... some nights a measure is this big, other nights a measure is this big... It's all about relativity, not absolutes, you know?
Recipes sound mighty tasty. Lately I've been making a variation using Amaretto, instant coffee, a splash of vodka, milk and fresh ice.
