LC Two Cult Classics Collide Note
Can you dig how two cult classics of sorts collide in this cocktail? For inspiration, this trendy little number draws on both The Big Lebowski, progenitor of the classic White Russian, made from Kahlua, vodka, and a splash of cream, as well as that puddle of sweet, sometimes eerily colored milk left in your cereal bowl as you sat mesmerized by Saturday morning cartoons. We’re sorta astounded by the American cultural quotient at play here. Uh, yeah. But sometimes you just can’t take life–or libations–too seriously. So go ahead and imbibe–or shall we say, abide.
Cereal Milk White Russian
Ingredients
Directions
Whisk together the ice cream, corn powder, if using, Kahlua, and vodka in a small pitcher or bowl.
Pour this into two ice-filled glasses and stir or, if you’ve got the mixology gear, pour it into a cocktail shaker filled with ice, cover, and shake until the shaker is frosty. Strain into two old-fashioned glasses filled with ice. Sip and sigh….
Fancy Shake Variation
Substitute 1 cup churned Cereal Milk Ice Cream for the unchurned Cereal Milk Ice Cream and blitz with the remaining ingredients in a blender until smooth, creamy, and irresistibly tempting. Take a sip and adjust the amount of ice cream, if necessary. Pour into a pint glass and imbibe.

I have not had a White Russian in years since I am not a huge fan of them, but this recipe gives this old classic a great twist. It’s creamy, frothy, not too boozy, and has a great flavor profile.
