Make a Black Russian Cocktail

Black Russian cocktails were actually invented by a Belgian, and are called Russian due to the vodka they contain. This is how to make one.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  1. Step 1

    First of all take your cocktail shaker and put in a three shots of vodka and two shots of Kahlua. Depending on how strong you want the cocktail to be, you can alter the ratio accordingly. More vodka than Kahlua makes the cocktail stronger and the opposite way around if you want it weaker.

  2. Step 2

    Before mixing the cocktail, add some crushed ice into the shaker. Next shake the cocktail thoroughly and prepare a glass. Black Russians are traditionally either drunk from martini glasses or tumblers, although if you prefer a taller glass these can be used as well if you add cola to top up the glass.

  3. Step 3

    Pour the completed Black Russian into the glass, and add a cherry to the glass. If the drink tastes too strong, you prefer it to be fizzy, or you want to top up a taller glass, then this is also the time to add cola.

Tips & Warnings
  • Using very strong vodka can ruin the taste, so avoid anything over 80 proof.
