A rocks glass. The wide mouth puts the aroma of a citrus twist right under your nose, and the heavy base survives muddling and stirring in the glass.

Is a White Russian shaken or stirred?

Neither. It is built directly in the glass and given a gentle stir.

About 23% ABV after dilution, or roughly 1.4 US standard drinks (19 g of alcohol) per serve.

Roughly 267 kcal per drink, most of it from alcohol and sugar.

Yes. London Dry Gin is the closest substitute, though the drink will taste different.

Vodka and coffee liqueur with a layer of cream. The Dude abides.

It is a creamy spin on the Black Russian, which was created in Brussels in 1949. The 1998 film The Big Lebowski made it cult.

Created 1960s in Belgium / USA. Listed as an official cocktail by the International Bartenders Association.

Bartender's tip: Float the cream, then stir at the table for the cloud effect.
