Tropical Ruskie

I suppose that I should start by saying that I have never been a fan of the White Russian. It's fair to say that I am not fond of creamy drinks as a rule. I'm also the guy that trowels the whipped cream from my pie as well. So why make over the White Russian? You can attribute that to a love of The Big Lebowski. For those who have not seen this film I apologize. To make a long story short, the main Character loved to drink White Russians.

While I don't care for cream in my cocktail, I do appreciate a creamy texture. Coconut milk offers this while offering a flavor I adore. Marry this with the traditional coffee Liqueur and a dose of cherry Liqueur and you now have a cocktail that I would serve my guests.

 

Method

In a rocks glass nearly filled with ice add the Coffee Liqueur, Crème de Cerise, and the Vodka. Top gently with the coconut milk and garnish with a cherry. Enjoy!
