The pop of peppermint is the perfect addition to this drink.
Perfect holiday twist on the traditional White Russian
If you want to make this “kid-friendly” just pour the white peppermint chocolate milk over ice in a glass for the under 21 crowds.

Yes, absolutely, that will work just fine. I recommend using strong brewed coffee for the best flavor.
So, the Black Russian cocktail is basically 2 ingredients, vodka and the coffee liqueur. A White Russian cocktail includes the addition of cream – in this case the milk and the Irish Cream.
