White Russian

Should it be in a tall or short glass? Do you use cream or milk? Those are only a few of the questions that bar tenders debate about the preparation of this excellent after-dinner drink. Some might remember it being featured in the film The Big Lebowski. I chose the most popular version. With a smooth, rich flavour and coffee-cream finish, it is most enjoyable on those chilly nights, so hurry up because winter is almost over. Its origins date back to the 1950s, where we can also find the ever-popular Black Russian (minus the cream). Enjoy your mixing and Saluté

4cl vodka
2cl Kahlua (coffee liquer)
2cl fresh single cream

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
