WHAT IS KAHLUA?
Kahlua is a coffee flavored liqueur that is used in drinks such as these. Other coffee flavored liquors that you could use include Tia Maria or even Bailey’s if needed.
We prefer Kaluha for this recipe because it adds jus the right amount of sweetness and texture that we love in a typical White Russian Recipe.
If you adore coffee flavored alcoholic drinks some of our other favorites include: B 52 Cocktail, Chocolate Coffee Martini and this Coca Cola Coffee.
There is a lot of different ways that I have seen people serve there White Russian Recipes. Some like scoop some ice cream in it to give it it a little more depth of flavor and substance.
If it were me, I would use some coffee flavored ice cream if I were to do that, that would be absolutely delicious.
TIPS AND TRICKS FOR MAKING THIS WHITE RUSSIAN RECIPE:
- You can substitute the heavy cream with milk or half and half as well. It still should provide a richness that this recipe needs.
- You can make a “mock” version of this recipe using tonic water, coffee and your favorite creamer if you’d like. Not quite the same flavor, but a virgin version.
- You can up the amount of alcohol in the recipe to compensate on how strong of flavors you’d like.
