Black Russian | Cocktail Party

Black Russian

Before Lebowski, there was Perle Mesta – Ambassador Mesta, that is. In 1949, a Belgian barman whipped this up in honor of the visiting US ambassador to Luxembourg, cementing coffee liqueur’s place among the pantheon of “liqueurs you can put in vodka.” If you have one the zillions of flavors of regrettable dessert flavors available these days, try a half-and-half blend of regular vodka with the flavored vodka, and make up your own goofy “Something-or-other Russian” name for it.

Cocktail Party is so much better

I've tried so many cocktail apps and uninstalled them all after hours of frustration. Cocktail Party is so much better. Beautiful UI, very intelligent suggestions, easy to follow recipes. A winner 100%.
