LOLOL So true! Kaluha and vodka *is* a Black Russian. Doesn't matter what
glass you serve it in, that's what it is. Add cream and you have a White
Russian. They're very tasty, but they aren't martini's

Worst hangover I ever had was playing bridge and drinking White
Russians. They are vert tasty and they will break your face.

Mine was from Southern Comfort, a bottle of it consumed in a little more
than an hour on a hot summer day. It is not a thirst quencher, and it's
a bitch when you can't hold down water.

I read that as "playing bridge and drinking with Russians".

Will break your face --check. Haven't heard about the tasty part.

When I was a single mom with very little in the "amusement" column of
the budget, I would drink black Russians. They hold on to their flavor
for a long time even with melting ice cubes. It's a good drink to nurse.

You've never had a mojito (original style)?

It's a nice summer drink. July 4th is right around the corner, maybe
you can try one then.

I don't need to know and the permanence (or not) is up to you. To me
it's like smoking. You harm yourself if you do it, but look at all
the money you're saving by not doing it.
