White Russian - Three Ways!

White Russian's Three Ways

I'm usually a wine and beer gal.  I'll order a cocktail every now and then if we go out some place that's known for good cocktails, but typically - I stick to wine and beer.

I wish I was more of a fun cocktail maker.  Sometimes I try to be fancy and make things like Apple Cider Sangria, Grapefruit Moscow Mules, a Cranberry Vodka Smash, or in today's case - White Russian's!

White Russian's Three Ways

I first had the idea to make a peppermint White Russian, and my imagination kind of spiraled from there.  I eyed my carton of eggnog in the refrigerator and thought - well THAT would be good in a White Russian too!

Then I saw the bottle of Godiva White Chocolate Liqueur in our liquor cabinet and thought - what the heck, let's do THREE White Russian recipes!

What Is a White Russian?

So what exactly is a White Russian?  A classic White Russian has a combination of vodka, cream, and Kahlua.  It's creamy, delicious, and to me it's a great after-dinner drink.

Peppermint White Russian

While all of my variations are quite different from each other, they are all incredible easy to make.  The Peppermint White Russian is a combination of Peppermint Schnapps, vodka, Kahlua, and cream.  I got fancy and dipped the rim in crushed candy canes which is super optional but also super cute.  Your choice.

Next up, I added some eggnog to the White Russian, along with another fancy rim of nutmeg sugar.  I think if I had to choose, this one was my favorite.  I'm an eggnog lover through and through!

Eggnog White Russian

Last up, I did a White Chocolate Caramel White Russian.  This one was definitely Marc's favorite.  It has a couple of special ingredients in it - Godiva's White Chocolate Liqueur and caramel vodka.  This one is definitely along the lines of dessert!  For the glass, I simply drizzled some caramel sauce along the glass and allowed it to drip a little before pouring in the drink.

Each one of these would be a really fun holiday cocktail.  Whether it's for happy hour, a dessert drink, or a night cap - you'll definitely be feeling merry!
