Vegan White Russian: An Easy Plant-Based Cocktail

White Russian cocktails are the perfect creamy drink for any party, and don’t have to contain dairy. Here is how to make a plant-based, vegan White Russian cocktail.

Despite its name, the White Russian cocktail was invented by Belgian barman Gustave Tops in 1949. A White Russian is a popular cocktail made with vodka, coffee liqueur, and cream. Coffee liqueur is a caffeinated alcoholic drink that mixes liqueur and coffee. If you want to enjoy this delicious drink, do it the vegan way. Here’s how you can make a vegan White Russian at home.

Ingredients: 

• 2/3 oz. vodka
• 1 oz. plant-based organic oat creamer, available on Amazon**
• 2/3 oz. Kahlua original coffee liqueur, available exclusively on their website. (be careful, as other Kahlua products contain dairy)
• 6-10 fluid oz. glass (rocks glass)

Instructions: 

1. Put your desired amount of fresh ice into the glass.
2. Pour the vodka and coffee liqueur over the ice.
