Single White Russian
Fill a glass with ice. Get out a highball glass that's at least 5 fluid ounces (150 ml) in size and fill it with ice cubes. If you'd like the cocktail to stay cold for longer, consider chilling the glass before you're ready to make the drink. If you don't have a highball glass, you can use a stemless wineglass instead.
Add Kahlua, vodka, and heavy cream. Pour in 1 fluid ounce (30 ml) of Kahlua and 1 fluid ounce (30 ml) of vodka. Then slowly pour 1 fluid ounce (30 ml) of heavy cream directly on top.Tip: If you'd like to make a lighter White Russian, use half-and-half instead of the heavy cream. You can also use whipping cream, which is similar to heavy cream.
Stir the White Russian if you like. While some people like to leave the layer of heavy cream visible at the top, you can stir the cocktail. This will give you a creamy taste in every sip.
Garnish and serve the White Russian. If you'd like a simple garnish, put a single maraschino cherry in the cocktail and serve it immediately. For fun garnishes, you could even top the drink with lightly sweetened whipped cream or a toasted marshmallow. Keep your garnish simple to let the beauty of the drink stand out. For instance, you might top the drink with a light garnish, like a single espresso bean, a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg, or a few cocoa nibs.
Large Batch of White Russians
Pour the Kahlua and vodka into a pitcher. Get out a serving pitcher and put 2 ⁄2 cups (0.59 l) of Kahlua into it. Pour in 2 ⁄2 cups (590 ml) of vodka and stir it to combine the liquors.
Chill the Kahlua mixture for up to 1 week. Cover the pitcher with plastic wrap and refrigerate it until you're ready to serve cocktails. As long as you don't put ice or heavy cream into the Kahlua mixture, you can chill the Kahlua vodka mixture for up to 1 week.
Put ice into highball glasses when you're ready to make the cocktails. This mixture will make up 20 cocktails, so have several glasses chilled or ready to go.
Pour the Kahlua mixture and heavy cream into each glass. To make 1 cocktail, pour 2 fluid ounces (59 ml) of the Kahlua vodka mixture into a glass. Then pour 1 fluid ounce (30 ml) of the heavy cream on top. Stir the cocktail if you'd like it to be combined and creamy.Tip: You can double this recipe to make 1 gallon (3.8 l) of White Russian cocktails. You'll need a total of 2 ⁄2 cups (590 ml) of heavy cream to make about 20 cocktails.
Baileys White Russian
Put ice into a glass. Get out a highball glass that's at least 6 fluid ounces (180 ml) in size and fill it with ice cubes. Chill the glass if you want the cocktail to stay cold for longer. You can also serve the cocktail in a stemless wine glass.
Pour the Baileys, vodka, milk, and Kahlua. Add 1 ⁄2 fluid ounces (44 ml) of Baileys Irish Cream or Espresso Crème Liqueur, ⁄2 fluid ounce (15 ml) of vodka, and 2 fluid ounces (59 ml) of whole milk. If you'd like a stronger coffee flavor, pour in ⁄4 fluid ounce (7.4 ml) of Kahlua.Tip: If you'd like a lower-calorie cocktail, substitute skim milk for the whole milk.
Stir the cocktail. Use a spoon or cocktail stirrer to mix the ingredients until they're combined. Since the Baileys is light and creamy, you won't really be able to layer the liquors as you would with a traditional White Russian.
Garnish the cocktail and serve it immediately. If you'd like to top the cocktail, add a maraschino cherry or cinnamon stick. Other optional garnishes include shaved chocolate, grated nutmeg, or whipped cream. Enjoy the drink right away for the best flavor.
