black russians are good if you dont' like mixing dairy with your alcohol.
The Black Russian is a cocktail.
It is traditionally poured over crushed ice in an old-fashioned glass.
It first appeared in 1949, thanks to the Belgian barman Gustave Tops, who created it at the Hotel Metropole in Brussels in the honor of Perle Mesta, then ambassador of the US in Luxembourg. The cocktail owes its name to the dark periods of the Cold War against the Soviet Union and is considered the ancestor of coffee cocktails.
The black Russian is a good drink for cocktail drinkers to order in strange bars/pubs instead of the White Russian because of the often questionable quality of milk/cream used in the preparation of the latter.Interesting!
