Basically, a strong peppermint-flavored spirit that goes great with chocolate, vodka, and whiskey.

Make it a mocktail: If you are looking for a non-alcoholic vegan white Russian, look no further! Substitute the Kahlua with DaVinci Coffee Liqueur Syrup and 1 shot of espresso instead of vodka. This version will taste more like coffee, but is seriously DELICIOUS!

The classic coffee liqueur of choice is Kahlua, which makes a bang-up White Russian, though there are plenty of options to be found. Anything labeled creme de coffee/café will work. Tia Maria is probably the second most common option. Coffee Herring - made by the folks at Cherry Herring - is another good one.

Mint extract is a mixture of spearmint and peppermint, whereas peppermint extract is just that. Whether you prefer the subtle flavor of spearmint or the in-your-face flavor of peppermint, we have a recipe to suit your taste.

Smirnoff Peppermint Twist is a triple distilled vodka infused with candied peppermint flavor for a sweet wintery mint finish. You can enjoy it as a straight shot, on the rocks, or as a mixed drink like we have done with this hot chocolate recipe.

How do you make a White Russian without curdling? ›

It's hard to screw up a White Russian, but follow these tips for a sure-proof drink: If the cream is too much for you, swap it out for whole milk or half-and-half. Avoid low-fat milk, skim milk, and non-dairy milks with a low fat content, otherwise the drink will curdle.

The Espresso Martini, just like the White Russian, prominently features coffee liqueur.

Black Cold Brew is another popular Kahlúa alternative. The liqueur contains Arabica coffee, some cane sugar, and Australian wheat vodka. The Mr. Black Cold Brew website suggests that fans use the brand in co*cktails such as a Coffee Negroni or Cold Brew Old Fashioned.

Coffee Liqueur: Kahlua is the classic and works surprisingly well, given its relatively mild coffee flavor. Tia Maria is acceptable, but less good.

A White Russian is made with vodka, coffee liqueur and cream served with ice. A Caucasian is the name used by the Big Lebowski (in the movie of the same name) for a White Russian. A White Russian is also the name for a person from Belarus (the name of the country in Russian literally means White Russia).

And you can probably guess from name alone what the difference is. A White Russian is swirled with heavy cream, while a Black Russian...isn't. It is simply coffee liqueur and vodka, no white in sight, making it less like a dessert and more like an alcoholic wake-me-up.

However, the flavor is not as ideal. It just isn't the same as vanilla bean-infused vodka or store-bought vanilla vodka, but it does work in a pinch. You can simply mix vanilla extract with your favorite vodka to make a fast, easy and ready-to-use vanilla vodka.
