For years, we’ve enjoyed Black Russians and White Russians, two venerable vodka-based cocktails. The Black Russian, invented in 1949, combines vodka and coffee liqueur; the subsequent addition of cream created a White Russian.

Neither cocktail recipe is Russian in origin; the name is an homage to the vodka. Both recipes are below.

Only recently did we come across this iced coffee version, courtesy of DeLonghi, producer of fine espresso machines.

To beat the heat, have an iced coffee. To make the day happier, make Russian iced coffee, with a shot of vodka. If you’re not keen on espresso, use regular coffee.
