Black Russians

Coffee-flavored vodka cocktails

A Black Russian is a cocktail made with vodka and coffee liqueur, typically served over ice.

The name comes from the vodka (associated with Russia) and the dark color of the drink.

Adding cream makes it a White Russian.

I'll have a Black Russian, please.
