White Russian for Bond With Me by Anne Marsh
The White Russian is a drink everyone should know. It’s a simple, creamy
vodka mixed drink with a nice coffee flavor that makes a great after
dinner sipper. If you skip the cream you’ll have a Black Russian, give
the White Russian a shake at the end and you have a Dirty Bird, add
amaretto and you have a Roasted Toasted Almond. The related drink list
to the White Russian is almost endless.
