What makes a Black Russian?
What makes a Black Russian? Two ingredients make the shot: Vodka and Kahlua.
Black Russian Ingredients
There are only two ingredients you need to make a Black Russian Shot.
- Vodka
- Kahlua
How to Make a Black Russian Shot
If you opt for the coffee rim then you will need to grind some coffee beans. Place coffee grinds onto a plate. Dip the top of your shot glass into some water then into the coffee grinds. Brush off any excess amounts of coffee grinds so you have a nice thin layer. Nobody wants a mouth full of grinds.
Next, in an ice-filled cocktail shaker add in the Kahlua and Vodka. Shake until the shaker is chilled.
Strain into your coffee-rimmed shot glass and bottoms up!
Black Russian Variations
Swap out plain vodka for flavored vodkas such as Vanilla or Whipped.
Swap out Kahlua for other coffee liqueurs.
Make it dessert! Mix shot and pour over ice cream and sprinkle coffee grinds on top!
Increase ingredients to make a Black Russian Cocktail and serve over ice in an old-fashioned glass.
If you make the Black Russian into a cocktail add a splash of coke to add some fizzy goodness.
