Kahlúa is not the same as the 90s
The new ingredients are all fake bullshit...even more so than 30 years ago!
Not to mention in this economy, man, the dude needs a better way!
I found that way last night when I made my wife watch The Big Lebowski with me while drinking some whiteys.
Instead of bullshit expensive kahlúa, use cold brew coffee and a splash of maple syrup. Or to give it a 'thicker' feel like kahlúa you can use add a splash of rum, a drop of vanilla extract, and use heavy cream instead of half and half.
The modern day Dude would appreciate a budget friendly twist with a lighter, brighter feel to it.
Try this White Russian recipe: Shot of vodka, Splash of rum (clear if possible), Glug of cold brew coffee, Ploop of maple syrup, and then Half and half until desired lightness
The result is an authentic, clean and fresh version of the White Russian that is easy on the gut and the wallet.
You can drink more of them and it doesn't make you want to vomit from all the sugar and processed fake artificial colors and sweeteners.
This new version is actually more authentic because it doesn't have all the new fake shit that science came up with in the last 35 years.
If you think about it, it makes sense: kahlúa is coffee liqueur. Which means it's coffee and fuckin' syrup man!
Trust me you'll never go back to that overpriced fake syrup bullshit again!
