FAQs:

What is a White Russian made with?Vodka, Kahlua, and cream are the ingredients in this classic cocktail. You can create a layered cocktail by adding the vodka and Kahlua to a glass of ice then pouring the cream over the top. Or, add the ingredients to a cocktail shaker with ice, and shake to combine the ingredients into a creamy, frothy cocktail.


Ingredients for a Pumpkin Spice White Russian:

  • Vodka: I used Tito’s, but use any vodka you like.
  • Kahlua: Any coffee flavored liqueur will work.
  • Half and half: Makes the cocktail super creamy.
  • Pumpkin spice: Use store-bought, or make your own.


Ingredient Tip:


  • No pumpkin spice? Make your own blend. Mix together 1 teaspoon cinnamon, ½ teaspoon nutmeg, ¼ teaspoon ginger, ¼ teaspoon cloves, and ⅛ teaspoon cardamom.

How to Make a Pumpkin Spice White Russian:

  • Add the vodka and Kahlua to a rocks glass filled with ice, then top with the half and half.

Ingredient Substitutions:
