A White Russian is swirled with heavy cream, while a Black Russian...isn't. It is simply coffee liqueur and vodka, no white in sight, making it less like a dessert and more like an alcoholic wake-me-up.
The White Russian Is Stupidly Simple

White Russians-a mix of coffee liqueur, vodka, and cream-get a bad rap for causing stomach pain, but that only happens if the cream isn't properly refridgerated. Similarly, the Pisco Sour contains raw egg, which can give you food poisoning if not stored properly.

Fans of the classic White Russian cocktail will love the Mudslide. The two drinks are very similar – both use vodka and coffee liqueur, but the Mudslide takes things to the next level with a splash of Irish cream liqueur. It's a creamy, sweet drink that's perfect to sip on after a meal.
