@@iv4nGG he left that comment, made a chaser video and then later when he did another run of videos he did an entire four drinks based on the white russian, with the original correct recipe and a bunch of info, and multiple blog posts. how much more do you want from a guy? come on man...
My dad had a weird habit of going to a restaurant known for something, ordering something else, then judging the restaurant. You can’t judge the quality of a steakhouse when you ordered the fish. And that’s exactly what he did here!
Well, if a steak place is selling fish that sucks, maybe they just shouldn't? Someone walks into a food place, orders food, and it sucks. Why is it on the menu?
Yes, it is the Saint George’s fault. Most high quality coffee liqueurs are too bitter. Kahlúa works because it’s really sweet. I had the same problem when trying to use a rowhouse spirits coffee liqueur. But that’s like, my opinion man.
That's true, I went to buy Kahlua once but the store didn't have it so I asked if they could recommend something else, and they gave me an espresso liqueur and my white russians tasted pretty bad.
kingofallcrypto Seconded. Chicory was put in coffee during the Civil War, because of Union blockades, not because it tastes good. Been to NO, ate beignets at CDM, and sipped my cappuccino with a smile as my wife suffered that awful “coffee.”
@@howtodrink i was schooled to use milk instead of cream and lightly mix the drink, it looks like when you try out the first drink you only get cream XD but as Michael said, dont mess with the kaluha
Well you fucked up by not using kahlua and getting all cute by using hipster shit! The dude uses half and half not heavy cream and you forgot to stir the damn drink! You were out of you’re element on this one donny! Haha
New Orleans style coffee is gonna be bunt and bitter My guess would be demara simple syrup and ,halve the grey goose or Skyy....Stoli is a little harsh
The kahlua probably would’ve made this drink taste correct. I just had one a few nights ago and it should taste like a milkshake! Lots of ice and a bit of stirring goes a long way too
I knew when he added the St George that he ruined the drink. Kahlua is very sweet, like whipped cream sweet. From how he described the flavor I can tell St George is a very coffee dominant liqueur.
@Jacob Jaywant you definitely mix it, how much is personal preference. me? i like it lightly shaken. and honestly? a dash of amaretto blends the flavors together perfectly.
Stoli is good enough; anything midrange or better works. Best to stay away from piss like Skyy or Vitali - personally I use either Absolut or Smirnoff, depending on what's in my freezer. I've seen folks use Goose and shit but that's a waste of cash to me.
Tia Maria if you can’t get Kahlua but Kahlua is better, half and half or creamy milk, a Russian measure of Vodka and enough of the coffee liqueur to give it a coffee like taste but not overpower it and ice.
IMO Stoli is a terrible vodka. You need something relatively neutral, but that does not have a rubbing alcohol nose. (That is why your rum was better.) The coffee liqueur must be sweet with little bitterness, since the vodka raises the bitter notes. Hence, your problem with the chicory coffee and your being fine with your syrup. The cream should also be stirred into the drink. This is not a layered drink, but a new beverage formed through the languid dance of the three ingredients. Abide.
@Heathen I agree. I always mix the cream (or milk) in. And a side note, while a less fumy vodka can be preferable, I personally feel that vodka isn't needed at all, I often swap out the vodka for more coffee liquor. But, that's just me. A tad of spiced rum (or black spiced) is nice, too. Tastes like Christmas.
Alright, everybody, repeat: "You are not supposed to judge a recipe when altering its ingredients on the first try-out." Basically, while you could use a better vodka or pick a different type of cream and maybe get results you'd find more palatable, using a coffee liqueur that's infused with chicory is a *_HUGE_* no-no for a recipe that doesn't call for any bittering agent! Stick to Kahlua or the like.
@@CRZ_PL It's kinda funny, considering how I hate that you can't get your hands on Grand Marnier Cordon-Jaune (the yellow-ribbon) any more without getting someone to sell their stock (this variant has been discontinued), because it has a different flavour profile from the more expensive Cordon-Rouge (the red-ribbon). And that's primarily because CR uses a Cognac base, whereas CJ used spirit. And here we have a chicory-infused coffee liqueur instead of Kahlua. [facepalm] Nooo...
"Better" vodka is a difficult thing to define. In Russia, many of the the best vodkas (not always the most expensive) have neutral flavor, this is highly regarded as a quality of the best vodka. What is interesting, is that in the US Market, some of the cheapest vodkas have the most neutral flavor. This includes Popov! I would not choose Stoli for a White Russian, save it for the 2-3 ingredient mixers... my preference for WR would be Absolut, Sobieski, Tito's, or Popov. Also, the drink should be given a brief, non-violent slush around in the shaker. It chills all the ingredients and helps the fat in the cream combine with the rest of the drink.
@@silvermediastudio Yes, neutral flavour is generally regarded as a good quality; at best, you want the mildest of hints of a flavour, if any. Distinct, notable scents are generally regarded as a defect in Europe.
Agreed, but he is right, black rum is waaaay better than vodka. You should try it. You might hate that you like it, but the aroma of rum is just so much better. As something easy you might even have hanging around, substitute vodka for captain morgan.
Big fan of white Russians even before big lebowski came out. A great way to add flavor and change the drink up a bit is to pour a ring of frangelico over the top after adding the cream. And yes kahlua is a must.
It's been quite some time since you made this comment and I hope you're doing well, because this was an amazing suggestion and I was literally just looking for a way to add Frangelico into something, made my day thx.
For me, it's mainly because he doesn't spill it. If even one drop fell outside the glass I'd cringe. Yes, I may suffer from (or benefit from, depending on how you see it) O.C.D. At the very least a touch of neurosis. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The Big Lebowski was far from an overnight sensation. It failed in the US box office and the reviews were mixed. It wasn't until a few years when it started to gain its cult classic status and good reviews.
I’m watching this when it’s 5 years old and as good and as knowledgeable as he is now it just makes this video all that much funnier 😂 love you and your videos 🙂
@@Alan-zv7tt wrong. its not even truely a Spanish drink by origin they make something similar but its not what EVERYBODY knows as Horchata. Nice try tho you Europeans love going "dUuH wE maDE THaTt"
Capo Santana no dumbass. It varies region to region but the earliest form was from Valencia (I hope I spelled that right), Spain. It’s in most countries with either rice or almonds. Especially made in Mexico and other places near there. So please stop being so rude to everybody because you are an ignorant buffoon.
I watched this video because I knew a white Russian had vodka and kahlua, and that is what I had available. After watching, I promptly ignored what he did, poured half absolute, half kahlua, and threw in a splash of vitamin D milk. I was happy.
You may be making it as one "should," but IMO the White Russian must be stirred - significantly - as it naturally separates. Your incarnation would (again, IMO) taste like cream with a hint of coffee and vodka.
This. When I don't stir it I just get heavy vodka and some coffee which is probably what he was talking about. As pretty as it looks it tastes better stirred.
Also, people pretty much never drink "heavy cream" (and I've tried it multiple times myself)... whole milk, half and half, evaporated milk, etc just taste better when drunk.
I really think the St George might be the problem. I LOVE all of their products, but this is one recipe where the Kahlua is the right way to go. It's sweeter and lacks any amount of the bitter that the Chicory is adding.
This is one of my favorite drinks, but heavy cream or half and half can destroy my stomach sometimes. I found that Malibu, kahlua, and coconut milk can make a pretty good drink for those that are lactose intolerant. Not quite the same but it is pretty good.
so... to spin this, ive been making glasses of strawberry milk 4 oz stoli elit vodka 2 oz strawberry baileys 2 oz white chocolate creamer (starbucks makes this) halfing these proportions would probably make sense for most also. This has met an overwhelming positive reaction from my circles at least. To clarify, i also keep my vodka as cold as possible before serving, with the other ingredients chilled and serve without ice, to each their own.
right Michael..they only drink Chopin and other high end vodkas...not! Poor ass peeps...a lot of Russians have health issues before they're 30 because of lack of fresh foods..and cheap vodka consumption...
Greg, do you need to keep the coffee syrup (and the Simple Syrup, fruit syrups, Grenadine, etc.) refrigerated, or do they stay out on top of the bar? I've recently started making cocktails at home, and I'm learning the basics.
I was watching this one and started thinking "What are you doing man!?" This is how I make mine and I love them 2 ounces Kahlua (THIS IS IMPORTANT, DON'T USE TRENDY CRAP) 3 ounces 100 proof freezer stored Smirnoff 3 ounces half and half (I get mine from a diary, so YMMV, I recommend this is where yous pend your trendy money.) Stir ingredients together gently, pour into 12 ounce glass tumbler over 3 medium cubes (or spheres) of ice.
I have to disagree with the Kahlua. Yes it works perfectly fine, but by God, the Ristretto liqueur by the Galliano brand is divine. Still coffee, but just a little extra smokiness.
I was watching your Dude's episode and came to watch this. You weren't lying, I'm impressed. Not terribly surprised that the run-and-syrup drink would taste better, it's like half sugar :D
Kaluah is a coffee liquor and rum mixture, so that second recipe reminds of a sombrero, which is just Kaluah and cream. It sounds like a fancier way to make it though!
He made it like a fucking moron is the reason why. Kahlua's a very *sweet* coffee liqueur, that shit he used is literally a coffee bitter, it could not possibly have been more wrong. When you make a drink ass backwards - it's going to taste like ass.
„i dont worry too much about precision and technique” he says it right at the start of every video, no wonder he hates his own drink if he cant be bothered to actually try and make it taste good
Greg! Can you make a the New Fashioned version of the old fashioned? One recipe I found had Havana 7, another sweet rum, maple syrup and aged whiskey bitters with an orange peel garnish. Would love to see your take on it!
I know you've revisited the Aviation, you should revisit the White Russian, and make it like this. 1.5 oz Vodka 1.5 oz Coffee Liqueur 2 Oz milk Stir in ice, then add to whiskey glass. Cream is way to heavy. Also adding a bit more Coffee Liqueur gives it a bit more flavour and takes away the harshness of the vodka. It's smooth af and it deserves a place.
Started doing a series called Chaser! It’s a little more vloggy but it lets me do follow ups on these videos easier: Chaser: White Russianruclips.net/video/9d24SBVEWKc/видео.html
Depending on where in Russia/Ukraine, I've heard it pronounced instead of the eech sound, slightly more ich... But not all the way. Kind of between ee and ih.
Simply 1/3 glass of whisky plus 2/3 glass of full milk. Add sugar to your preference and mandatory ice . It tastes fabulous. I made that once as an experiment and absolutely loved it. Realized later they were drinking it in Scotland ages ago.
Personally I prefer rum to vodka anyway so I'm eager to try th version you made. I'm not much of a vodka guy, maybe you aren't either, it can be good but definitely not my drink of choice.
How To Drink It's actually supposed to be a carefully stirred drink. A lot of bars make cocktails for speed and a lot of bartenders do NOT know or remember how to correctly make every drink. If you look at the IBA recipe it also says to stir the drink. iba-world.com/cocktails/black-russian/

IMO Stoli is a terrible vodka. You need something relatively neutral, but that does not have a rubbing alcohol nose. (That is why your rum was better.) The coffee liqueur must be sweet with little bitterness, since the vodka raises the bitter notes. Hence, your problem with the chicory coffee and your being fine with your syrup. The cream should also be stirred into the drink. This is not a layered drink, but a new beverage formed through the languid dance of the three ingredients. Abide.
Chickory also kinda tastes like medicine so I really didn't understand why he was so surprised that it tasted the way it did.
Stoli served up or neat is super fucking neutral and non-nosy.
Spoken like a true dude. I make mine with Reyka & Kalhua and have had no complaints.
@Heathen I agree. I always mix the cream (or milk) in.

A tad of spiced rum (or black spiced) is nice, too. Tastes like Christmas.
Some would argue that all vodka is terrible. It's all neutral and it's most used purpose is simply adding alcohol to drinks.

I was watching your Dude's episode and came to watch this. You weren't lying, I'm impressed. Not terribly surprised that the run-and-syrup drink would taste better, it's like half sugar :D
Kaluah is a coffee liquor and rum mixture, so that second recipe reminds of a sombrero, which is just Kaluah and cream.
It sounds like a fancier way to make it though!
Missed you dude! Such good content, always inspires me to try and make whatever you do on the show!
Hello from Australia,
Really enjoying your channel.
In Poland we mix milk and hazelnut vodka- drink is called 'monte'- it taste like candies, if you have chance really try this.
I just successfully dieted, the drink you’re describing would undo a lot of hard work...
How does anyone hate White Russian? I hate coffee in general, but I still love that stuff.
He made it like a fucking moron is the reason why. Kahlua's a very *sweet* coffee liqueur, that shit he used is literally a coffee bitter, it could not possibly have been more wrong. When you make a drink ass backwards - it's going to taste like ass.
Do a white russian topped with coke. It'll taste like a rootbeer float. The drink is called a colorado bulldog
You're back! Thanks for the video Greg!
THANK YOU!
Try Smirnoff and kahlua. That medicine flavor is not normal!!!
I guess I'm gonna have to!
Making it with some of the most intolerable vodka I can think of is a bad start
My first White Russian in 1986 was a combination of one part vodka, one part Kahlua and two parts cream. Try Chopin Potato Vodka.
..what I'm drinking right now..Smirnoff Kahlua and almond mild..niceeeeeeeee........
Smirnoff is garbage.
First time watching. Instant sub. Thanks for the great content!
Chicory root did you in man. Any other coffee liquor wouldve done the trick. But *NEVER* add that chicory root St. Georges liquor.
this was the first drink i had when i just turned 18 i went with my brothers and cousins to a bar and i love it
I want that black Cuban! That looks so good. I need to make one
I know it’s a super simple drink but an Irish Coffee video would be cool imo
That's like you opinion man
Love the big lebowski. Biggest question presented tho, why doesnt vodka show up in pre-prohibition. When and where did it break out in America?
You made a terrible version of a great beverage. Don't blame the recipe, blame the cook
Stir the drink man.
„i dont worry too much about precision and technique” he says it right at the start of every video, no wonder he hates his own drink if he cant be bothered to actually try and make it taste good
.........0:38.....ELEMENT......Donny is out of his fucking element sir....i appreciate the nod to the movie, but this is standard knowledge....
animalmother556x45 I cringed too
animalmother556x45 big facts
Oof. I know. How did nobody catch that!!!?!?!? Deadly sin.
...pissy bitches...
animalmother556x45 shut the fuck up Donny
No ideea how i got here but... entertaining video, really nice camera work and an awesome skx!
Manhattan Special - YES! Well done, sir!
I remember making a version of this I called the "Dark Commie." It was 100 proof Vodka, 70 Proof Kahlua Especial and Baileys Irish Creme.
Sounds awesome, I'll try it some day lol.
Good to know about New Orleans coffee, as I’m actually allergic to chicory root! 🫣
Is there a video to make the fire Coffee syrup??? Sounds delicious
I hate vodka in general, so the rum version is a delight, thanks for another great drink Greg. Also Piña colada when ?
Thematically I don't think we'll do a Piña till after the holidays. There's a couple ways I could go with that.
How about the Death & Co version of the piña colada?
You could try it with gin!
Greg! Can you make a the New Fashioned version of the old fashioned? One recipe I found had Havana 7, another sweet rum, maple syrup and aged whiskey bitters with an orange peel garnish. Would love to see your take on it!
I've never heard of this drink, but it sounds like I need to be aquatinting myself with it posthaste.
I eas genuinely excited at the prospect of the Black Cuban. Brilliant idea.
I know you've revisited the Aviation, you should revisit the White Russian, and make it like this.
1.5 oz Vodka
1.5 oz Coffee Liqueur
2 Oz milk
Stir in ice, then add to whiskey glass. Cream is way to heavy. Also adding a bit more Coffee Liqueur gives it a bit more flavour and takes away the harshness of the vodka. It's smooth af and it deserves a place.
Started doing a series called Chaser! It’s a little more vloggy but it lets me do follow ups on these videos easier: Chaser: White Russianruclips.net/video/9d24SBVEWKc/видео.html
Greg I fucking missed you, and this is my FAVORITE drink! Awesome!
I missed you too!
Best spill - maybe because this is an older video before he got his style, but the ONLY spillage looks to be at 4:09.
I missed you Greg :(
I missed you too!
"Ch" in "Stolichnaya" sounds exactly like in the words "Check" or "Challenge"
stole-itch-knee-yaaaaaaa
Just call it Stoli and life is good
I’m making one just for me. Tonight.
Great to find you!
Is the coffee liquor sweetened? That might be why you dont like it
We use Bailey’s Irish cream instead of the heavy cream lmao.
That makes it a Blind Russian, does it not?
That’s a Mudslide. Very tasty!
Yuck had a bartender make it that way once by accident it was horrible.
same way i make them, 2 shots Stolie, 2 shots Kahlua, 2 shots Baileys, shake and pour over ice
Turquoise There’s two types of mudslides: the cocktail and the frozen. The frozen one’s better.
You have to use the heavy cream, it really ties the drink together.
Havana Club rum? Colin approves.
I've noticed you're more of a rum person, probably why I like your stuff.
Nothing against the original recipe, but I'm Cuban and I approve of his Havana Club infused drink...
But you know, that's like my opinion man🤷🏻♂️
where did you find the 7 years Rum Havana Cuba? I have been looking for it ever since we took a vacation to Cuba. it's so so good.
That just looks like, so good. I love Coffee in a Doctors office man
MY BOY IS BACK! Also, White Russians are amazing!
not for me...
How To Drink yes they are
And i still dig your show
For the Black Cuban, would you recommend Jamaican Rum(coruba)
?
I love those slo-mo pouring shots.
Its definitely the coffee liquor you used. You have to use kalua.
question if you put a tiny bit of vokda in the second one can you call it cuban missile crisis ill show myself out
1:38 Greg you murdered that pronunciation, it's pronounced like stoleechnye-a
Depending on where in Russia/Ukraine, I've heard it pronounced instead of the eech sound, slightly more ich... But not all the way. Kind of between ee and ih.
“You make one hell of a Caucasian Jackie!” That’s what it looked like you were thinking after you tasted that White Russian lol
Where do you get your glass ?it’s a really mice cup!😍
I always use equal parts of everything in a white Russian, always tasted better that way. Just might have been adding too much of the base liquor.
I think the st George chickoree didn’t work right
Vodka kahlua heavy cream or milk over ice
It's true, chickory is something they drank out of desperation when they couldn't get coffee. It's like using carob instead of chocolate
Simply 1/3 glass of whisky plus 2/3 glass of full milk. Add sugar to your preference and mandatory ice . It tastes fabulous. I made that once as an experiment and absolutely loved it. Realized later they were drinking it in Scotland ages ago.
I absolutely love that you specify the measurements in ml and not only oz. There are a few of us in here who use the metric system :)))
Personally I prefer rum to vodka anyway so I'm eager to try th version you made. I'm not much of a vodka guy, maybe you aren't either, it can be good but definitely not my drink of choice.
Столакноя?) Первый раз такую вижу. Где такую взять?)
Stir the damn drinks.
Iceberg4k1 ikr? It's fucking amateur to not stir
You order this drink in any bar on earth it’s a layered drink. Every cocktail guide written, including the IBA, regards it as a layered drink.
How To Drink
It's actually supposed to be a carefully stirred drink. A lot of bars make cocktails for speed and a lot of bartenders do NOT know or remember how to correctly make every drink. If you look at the IBA recipe it also says to stir the drink.
iba-world.com/cocktails/black-russian/
shaken or stirred and i think you do not have no taste buds if you don't like it.
I've had this at dozens of bars and it has always been stirred.
When it sucks, just change it to rum. That’s my philosophy.
LOL
Greg, can you tell me where I can get that awesome glass you make the black Cuban in? Love that thing.
