The favorite drink of “The Dude”, but with a chocolatey twist.
The White Russian is a traditional vodka drink that pairs the clear spirit with coffee liqueur and fresh cream to create a milky-colored cocktail that has a creamy mouthfeel. It’s a drink that received notoriety for its inclusion in the movie The Big Lebowski as the preferred cocktail of main character Jeffrey “The Dude” Lebowski.
Since we’re big fans of adding chocolate to our cocktails we decided to mix some into our White Russian. Our Chocolate Russian uses the standard White Russian recipe, but with the addition of Creme De Cacao and a dash of cocoa cocktail bitters. It makes for a sweet finish to any busy day, whether at work or the bowling alley.
