What Cocktails Are You Making During The Holidays?
A great holiday cocktail is just as important as the holiday feast! They go hand in hand.
And White Russian is a perfect cocktail for the holiday season. But, let’s take it up a notch and make a Peppermint White Russian made with Eagle Brandmilk condensed milk. It adds the perfect amount of sweetness. Eagle Brandmilk is all natural with only 2 ingredients, milk and sugar!
What is a White Russian?
The White Russian is a coffee and vodka based cocktail that came about in the 1960s when someone added a bit of cream to the Black Russian, a cocktail of vodka and coffee liqueur, rendering it white. Neither drink is actually Russian in origin, but the name refers to the vodka, a spirit often associated with Russia.
And this recipe is simple.
Just pour coffee liqueur, peppermint extract and vodka into a highball glass with ice. In a shaker add
heavy cream and Eagle Brand condensed milk. I used 3 tablespoons of condensed milk, but you can use as much or as less as you want. Depending on the amount of sweetness you desire.
Shake to blend the condensed milk mixture. Then
pour it into the glass and garnish with a candy cane and rosemary. So easy and delicious.
The addition of Eagle Brand Condensed Milk does not make the cocktail overly sweet. In fact, it gives the cocktail the perfect sweetness and flavor! I will be making my cocktail with it from now on.
A festive holiday cocktail!
