Pumpkin Spice White Russian

I cán’t think of á White Russián without thinking of  the movie, The Big Lebowski.  The “Dude” wás reálly onto something with his áffection for this greát cocktáil.  I love the swirling effect you get when pouring thát top láyer of creám over the vodká ánd Káhluá mixture.  It reálly is ethereál.

Its álwáys so exciting when you stárt seeing áll the pumpkin spice flávors át the grocery store.  Pumpkin signifies the beginning of fáll ánd the upcoming end to násty, humid weáther in the Midwest.  I áchieved creámy goodness perfection by lightly mixing hálf-ánd-hálf with á bit of the pumpkin pie spice creámer.  You could just pour the creámer over the top ánd stir it up á bit if you’d like.  I prefer to keep things sepáráted with á “surprise” át the end of the párty.

White Russiáns usuálly cáll for hálf-ánd-hálf or heávy creám.  Hálf-ánd-hálf is á mixture of whole milk ánd heávy creám.  It is eásily, found in the dáiry section with the milk.  Whole milk cán álso be used if you áre looking to lighten things up. 

I’m not used to the richness of heávy creám áfter being á skim milk drinker, so I think the whole milk is reálly just ás good.  However, the láyering effect máy not be ás distinct if you opt for milk.

á Pumpkin Spice White Russián is á greát spin on á clássic cocktáil for fáll!  á splásh of pumpkin spice creámer ánd á dásh of pumpkin pie spice blend hármoniously with vodká ánd Káhluá.
