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.
I like to transfer the peppermint milk to an airtight container or jar and keep it refrigerated for up to 4 days.
Then I microwave it or transfer it back to a saucepan to reheat it when ready to serve again. Just make sure you don’t boil it when reheating.
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.
You bet! While Kahlua is the most common brand that people know – you can use any variety you can find in your area.
