Black Russian

Black Russian

Just typical, as soon as I create this blog I get sick. No, not the sick of drinking but a nasty fever that keeps me from my drinking duty.
Finally I feel fine enough despite having a cough that has lingered for 2 months and hay fever I went and got some Kahlua. Flipping through my cocktail book I like the look of the Black Russian.
short glass
30ml Kahlua
30ml Vodka
build over ice
I was hoping to provide photo's of the drink I made but I am having the worst luck with cameras currently so I might borrow some picks. Let me say It looks cool because the Kahlua sits on the bottom layered with the vodka. Now if you know Kahlua with its chocolaty taste that is pretty much what you taste. Maybe it is "diluted" from the vodka. I wasn't sure if it should have been stirred since vodka is a bit like watery metho, but I did and wow. The book says its good after dinner which is when I had it; I guess its as good a time as any to be having it.
My misses is funny, see I could probably count the number of cocktails I have had on my extremities but she is there saying "Oh I used to have that all the time."
Some people have all the luck. She said that a few more time as I flipped through the book too. I have had a number of different beers and wines but the other stuff not so much. Hmmm, drink more I think.
Give the Black Russian a go, I hope you like it.
