October 2023 – Kahlua Trio (White Russian, Black Russian, Kahlua and Cream)

Another great fall drink is actually a trio of drinks made from three ingredients just in different proportions and combinations.  I refer to them as the Kahlua trio and given that I love Kahlua all three of these drinks are delicious and have slightly different strengths but maintain a similar taste profile given that Kahlua is the star.  Using only Kahlua (the star), Vodka (I love using Vanilla Vodka to add a hint of vanilla), and half and half cream you can make three variants that all have a place and a time to serve.  The drinks are the classic Kahlua and cream that while being very tasty is a less potent drink, the White Russian (Kahlua and cream punched up with vodka), and the Black Russian (hold the cream). You can’t go wrong with these and by trying all three you can determine the flavor and strength that best suits your palate.
