    vodka and milk is not a valid recipe for a white russian. idk what the hell the dude thinks he’s drinking but it’s definitely not that.

      I don’t remeber what a White Russian should be made of from my bartender years, but if it was cream, well I stay with the Dude.

      At one point you’ve to prioritize your calories.

      Kahlua - necessary Vodka - necessary Cream??? > Milk

      That’s cause you’re young.

      When you get to the 50s you can’t use cream, bur you doesn’t stop to like white russian

        i think the kahlua is probably the most important thing there… otherwise it just tastes like milk.

      The Dude is both chill, and poor. Not everyone has coffee liqueur and creamer money. He makes do with what’s around and he’s happy about it.

        Coffee liqueur is super easy to make. Cheap vodka, super strong coffee and a vanilla bean. Let it sit for a month. You can add glycerin if you want to increase the viscosity, but not needed for white russians.

          I’ve never seen someone drink half & half the way people drink milk. Like just a straight glass of half & half.

          It is used almost exclusively as a substitute for heavy cream in recipes, so my mind considers it cream.

              50/50. Half cream, half whole milk… But the few times I’ve tasted it on its own, it is much closer to cream imo
