The White Russian is a twist on the classic Black Russian, which was first mixed in the late 1940s at the Hotel Metropole in Brussels for a visiting American diplomat. The 'white' version emerged in the 1960s when bartenders began adding cream. The cocktail gained pop culture fame thanks to 'The Dude' in the 1998 cult film 'The Big Lebowski', cementing its status as a laid-back classic.
