The White Russian builds on the Black Russian, adding cream to create a softer, richer version. It became widely known in the late twentieth century and has remained a favourite ever since.
The addition of cream transforms the drink completely, turning it into something smooth and indulgent. It is simple, but that contrast between coffee and cream is what makes it work. It is also one of the most recognisable cocktails out there.
