IBA ContemporaryClassic Creamy

White Russian是一款由伏特加、咖啡力娇酒和淡奶油制成的IBA当代经典，加冰构建于古典杯中。它因科恩兄弟1998年电影《谋杀绿脚趾》中的「老兄」角色而家喻户晓，成为20世纪后期最具文化标志性的鸡尾酒之一。咖啡力娇酒的甜味与奶油的丰富感，加上伏特加的中性烈度，创造出一款平易近人的甜点风格鸡尾酒。

History & Origins

The White Russian is a variation of the Black Russian, a cocktail of Belgian origin created in 1949 by bartender Gustave Tops at the Hotel Metropole in Brussels. Adding cream to the Black Russian created the White Russian, which appeared in bartending guides by the 1960s. Its popularity peaked dramatically after its prominent appearance in The Big Lebowski (1998), introducing it to a new generation of drinkers and cementing it as a pop cultural icon.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Coffee liqueur's roasted coffee and chocolate sweetness with cream's dairy richness and a subtle vodka warmth. Palate: Rich and indulgent, with coffee liqueur's complex coffee-cocoa sweetness balanced by the cream's dairy smoothness; vodka amplifies the overall strength without competing with the coffee and cream flavors. Finish: Sweet, creamy, and coffee-tinged with a gentle alcoholic warmth.

Pro Tip

Pour the cream slowly over the back of a bar spoon onto the surface of the drink for an attractive layered effect, then stir gently before drinking.
