Pistachio White Russian with Cheese Pairings
Pistachio White Russian
A creamy, nutty classic cocktail
We put our own nutty spin on this iconic creamy cocktail. Traditionally made with cream, vodka, and coffee liqueur, a White Russian is the ultimate winter drink or post-dinner sipper, and we’ve added a touch of rich flavor to enhance this classic beverage’s luxe profile. Our Pistachio White Russian is made with hazelnut liqueur and a decadent pistachio cream spread, making it the perfect pairing for similarly rich cheeses like an aged Comte or creamy blue.
