Black Russian

Sometimes you just want to be alone with a good book on a rainy night. WHen this happens I tend to go for one cocktail in particular, the Black Russian. A simple and deep cocktail will warm you up on this type of night. Made from vodka and coffee liqueur you don't need to spend to much time making one so you can get back to your book quickly. Here is the final product.

For this cocktail I like to use my favorite vodka, Ketel One. I don't really know why I like this vodka more than any of the others, but I do. It could do with the fact that several people have told me it is the best out there right now.

For the coffee liqueur I like to use Kahlua, but you can substitute this for your own favorite.

The recipe for this is as simple as it seems.
1 oz vodka
2 oz coffee liqueur
Pour both ingredients into a glass with a few ice cubes. Stir until cold.

A simple and easy cocktail for those days you don't want to leave the house. You really can't go wrong. The coffee is delicious and the vodka gives it some warmth.
Until next week folks.
