Creole Russian (white or black)

Quick & Simple Ideas

Secret Ingredient for hot and cold praline drinks containing alcohol:

"Praline Pecan Liqueur" by the Sazerac Company

"Color is burnt copper hue with a faint olive cast. Flavor is dark roasted pecans, dark caramel corn, and pink peppercorn aromas follow through on a thick, syrupy entry to a moderately sweet full body with accents of candied orange peel, spice, and butterscotch. Finishes with a long, peppery-sweet maple syrup-like finish. A very thick, breakfast nut, pastry-like confection."

For the Creole version of the well known White Russian or Black Russian, try different infused vodkas, especially flavors like vanilla, chocolate or coffee.

Ingredients

3 oz of your favorite vodka
1 oz Kahlua® coffee liqueur
