Pour over ice cubes in old-fashioned cocktail glass.
A Black Russian uses only vodka and coffee liqueur. A White Russian adds cream or milk, making it lighter and richer.
Coffee liqueur is essential to the drink. Kahlúa is the classic choice, but any quality coffee liqueur works.
Build it directly in a glass over ice and stir briefly to chill and combine—no shaking needed.
Serve in a rocks glass or lowball glass filled with ice for the traditional presentation.
