" Mint White Russian "
Who invented this cocktail?
The White Russian traces its roots back to the 1960s as a variation of the Black Russian, which originally combined vodka and coffee liqueur.
The only difference? Add cream, and voilà, you’ve got the White Russian.
It exploded in pop culture thanks to The Big Lebowski, where it was the signature drink of “The Dude.”
This Mint White Russian is a playful remix, adding mint liqueur to the traditional formula.
The result? A cool, slightly sweet version that’s perfect for winter nights, holiday gatherings, or whenever you’re craving something smooth, rich, and just a bit indulgent.
