It’s Day 2 of my 12 Days of Christmas Cocktails, I thought I’d share one of my favorite after dinner cocktails, a White Russian Martini. This is a simple cocktail your party guests will love and so quick to make any host/hostess will love!
I know many of you have probably had a White Russian before and may be wondering why I’m posting a recipe for something so common and simple. There’s really nothing extra special about this martini, I just wanted to remind you all what a delicious, quick and easy cocktail it is to make, perfect for when you want something for your holiday guests that doesn’t take a lot of time or thought to put together. No flavored simple syrup to make, nothing like that. Just open some booze and shake it up. It’s just a typical White Russian but instead of on ice in a rocks glass, I’ve shaken it in a cocktail shaker and poured it into a martini glass. To me drinks just seem more special and festive in a martini glass! You really don’t have to wait for after dinner to enjoy this martini but since it makes a nice after dinner drink that’s usually when I have one.
To make a White Russian it’s simply 2 parts vodka to one part Kahlua with a bit of cream to your liking. I used half and half this time, about a half shot. Sometimes I’ll use milk if that’s all I have. Don’t want to add cream? No problem, leave it out and you have yourself a Black Russian! For some reason I like Black Russians over ice. I know, I’m a little weird sometimes when it comes to cocktails.
However you decide to make it, I think you’ll enjoy this simple, yet oh so tasty, White Russian Martini!

Thanks so much…glad you’ve enjoyed the cocktail posts!
Love those glasses where are they from
Thank you! I’ve had them for a long time, they were a gift. Don’t know where they came from.
I want to make these for a toast to a retirement. I need at least 8 drinks (and sure we will drink more!) can I make a larger batch of these and can I make a little while ahead of time and give it a shake before serving? Thanks!
Sure!
