a variant on a white russian

My dear wife is not much of a drinker, she does not like the flavor or many things, so sometimes we take that as the benefit to me that it is. So the normal white Russian is:

  • 5 parts vodka

  • 2 parts coffee liquor

  • 3 parts cream / 5 parts milk

I altered this a bit by cutting the vodka to 2 parts and adding 5 parts chocolate milk. Some references call this a dirty Russian, but I see references to vodka and eggnog for that. So a Chocolate Russian? Mocha Russian? I don’t like the reference of dirty, that seems like a call back to a martini and olives

  • 2 parts vodka

  • 2 parts Coffee Liquor

  • 5 parts chocolate milk

Also it might be me, but I’m not as much of a fan of the white russian as I used to be…maybe my avoidance of sugar?
