Cocktail Description
A sophisticated take on the Espresso Martini that trades fuss for flavor, the Black Russian delivers deep coffee notes in a format that's actually achievable at home.
This cocktail combines the clean, wheat-forward profile of Ketel One vodka with the rich, authentic coffee character of Mr Black, creating a drink that's simultaneously bold and balanced. Unlike its shaken cousin, the stirred preparation creates a silkier texture and allows the coffee's complexity to shine through without the dilution that comes from vigorous shaking. Perfect for after-dinner gatherings or whenever you need that coffee-cocktail fix without the hassle, this drink works beautifully on a quiet evening at home or as a conversation starter at small gatherings. The preparation couldn't be simpler—just stir and strain—making it an ideal choice for cocktail enthusiasts who value both flavor and efficiency. Its rich profile pairs wonderfully with chocolate desserts, vanilla ice cream, or even savory options like aged cheese boards.
