The Dude's White Russian and Variations | How to Drink

The Dude's favorite drink made five ways, each better than the last! White Russian Variations for the Big Lebowski!
A long while back I tackled the White Russian, and I got it wrong. Oddly that video is one of my more popular, maybe it's the controversy? Whatever it is, I had to go back and get it right. So today I make a White Russian that would be to The Dude's Standards, and then I make four more variations on it. The first is the Black Russian, which is really less a variation on the White Russian and more the roots originator of it. That one isn't great. The other three are modern takes on the form, and they're outrageously good. The best "White Russians" I've ever had. No joke.

"Cracking the egg on a flat surface gives you a perfect crack all around the egg." This is great advice. I have a confectioner's education and this was even something they taught us back at school.

[@adyscript]

Greg’s rant on the subject reminded me of Audrey Hepburn’s character in the movie “Sabrina”. When she returns from culinary school, IIRC, she shows Humphrey Bogart how to properly crack an egg. I’ve been following her lead ever since I first saw that movie. It’s been a while since I’ve seen it though, so my memory may be a bit rusty. It’s all in the wrist...and a flat surface.

[@glideo]

@Coding Crusader one can have a confectioner's education without being a dessert maker for a living

As someone that cooks with eggs regularly, he is absolutely correct about cracking eggs on a flat surface!

I was always told to crack an egg on a flat surface so you don’t introduce any bacteria into the shell while you’re cracking it.

He's been mistaken a few times, though I can't remember which instances at the moment. But to be fair, he's not entirely an original food researcher, but rather follows the best, most recent research for his recommendations, and when he's wrong, he admits it and lets people know. We could all learn from him.

My friends and I throw an annual Lebowski theme party at a sci fi convention. We have tested MANY non-dairy replacements for half and half over the last decade and by far our favorite is coconut coffee creamer.

It's popular with our vegan guests and with all the aging midwesterners like myself who can't seem to digest dairy anymore.

Hey Greg, I made an improvement on that Kelp Shake. . . thing. . . you did a few weeks back. It requires some, well, unorthodox ingredients and prep, though. First, you need to make a kelp/seaweed liqueur. Get some seaweed or nori and a standard (750ml) bottle of vodka. I just happened to have some nori on hand. I suggest using a lower shelf vodka for this, but not absolute bottom. I ended up using Phillips. Put two sheets of your seaweed in your bottle (or separate bottle if you're smart, which I was not) and let sit for about a day or until your vodka smells strongly of seaweed. Strain a few times until you're satisfied with your end product and re-bottle. It sould be a fairly gross shade of green. Now for the cocktail itself: The Seafloss Flip 1.5 oz Seaweed Liqueur 1 oz Midori 1/2 oz Simple Syrup 1 Egg Seltzer Combine all but seltzer in shaker with your ice, shake, strain into fresh shaker, dry shake, and pour into a rocks glass and top with seltzer. Garnish with some roughly grated seaweed (consistency of red pepper flakes). I've found that the melon flavor mixes well with the sweetly-salty flavour of the seaweed, propped up by the sweetness of the simple, and floated by that classic creamy mouthfeel of a flip.

White Russian was one of the first coctails I learned to make at the bar. It also feels special to me because I couldn't buy coffee liqueur locally; I bought it in Gibraltar. I came up with my own variation at the time and it's the one I always make. I just swap the cream for whipped cream, served with a short straw. I think it's a cool variation because you get both coctails in one. It also looks like an Irish Coffee.

Man, I went to Edinburgh for The Fringe in the summer 2019, there's a bar called simply "Lebowski", the menu is PACKED with White Russian variants which I liked.

I really enjoyed it, my friend and I were really surprised. Greg if you get the chance to go to Edinburgh, it's great fun and Lebowskis has some really cool drinks :D EDIT: Also, in the UK, Sambuca is fucking everywhere (as a student) and I have no idea why.

[@mmurray821]

Egg cracking from a cooking perspective: Cracking on the flat counter gives a smother edge to the shell, so if you don't want your yolk breaking or being cut and only what the egg white, use the counter. If you use a sharp edge like a glass/frying pan, the chances of your yolk breaking/being cut are far greater. If you are going for scrambled eggs, you can use this way. Just FYI. So for egg white drinks, use the bloody counter.

[@Beegpapijimbo]

He didn't like the one that was made with the wrong ingredients but he came tried again with Kahlua after everyone told him he goofed it he did like it

[@Lectrikfro]

Everyone pointed out he screwed the drink up when he made it. this is less of coming back to it than it is he actually went to the right place this time

[@Chilldude_101]

I love the comments on this show when Greg is talking they make me laugh so hard

[@LordRae]

Hearing your definition of Vodka made me wonder if I was crazy remembering Blavod Vodka and no I wasn't. I used to drink it in college. Fun stuff. Black vodka. A bit earthy but still essentially normal vodka. Just made cocktails look really cool and different.

[@cknight0518]

Been watching your videos. Speedies, Breitlings, Longines Legend Divers... You got a strong watch collection

[@NetherlordAxenrot]

Careful man....! THERE’S A BEVERAGE HERE MAN!!!

[@CathrineMacNiel]

The beverage is not the issue here, dude!

[@deanc9195]

I live by the dude. I am the dude. You are the dude. He’s a dude, She’s a dude, we’re all dudes, yeah!

From day 1 of working in kitchen when I was a kid, that's how I've been taught to crack eggs, and it's so easy, HOWEVER, if you get the right amount of force on the edge of something while pulling the egg apart (imagine opening a kinder surprise toy by squeezing it with the hinge facing upwards) Ramsey nails it every time Perfect, no shell AND NO MESS

[@burtbackattack]

I love the post sip close up shots of Greg looking all wide eyed and approving.

[@Halcyon485]

Cracking an egg on a rim can also cause the rim to go too deep into the egg and penetrate the yolk, ruining your separation of white and yolk.

[@joshreis8672]

A great tool for making infusions, a Sous Vide cooker. I've been making infusions in mine for years. A couple of infused tequila variations I've made; a White Mexican, and a Mexican Leprechaun. The first is coffee infused tequila with half and half. The second is the coffee tequila with Bailey's. ;)

[@millercoors12]

Sitting in quarantine watching your vids drinking 👌

[@LFSJR.]

“You people” are wrong about cracking eggs. Alton Brown agrees.

[@jeppesimonsen9130]

And Gordon Ramsay!

[@ndktube]

And Jacques Pepin. That is, crack on a flat surface.

[@p4rsec]

yup. always crack on a flat surface to avoid splinters of shell

[@crowmeat]

If anyone says to crack an egg on a sharp corner, disregard them as humans that know anything about tasty things.

[@korgothic]

Those people are either eating egg shells or have never cracked an egg, they can't be trusted.

[@Tugrik]

A favorite around these parts: the Latino Russian! 1 part coffee liquor (we use St. George's NOLA) 2 parts vodka (we use Russian Standard Platinum) 4 parts Rumchata or Rincata (any 'horchata-style' alcoholic cream liquor) Over ice, stir, enjoy. Soooo good. The sweetness and cinnamon work so well.

[@marihawley]

Love rumchata! Gonna try this recipe.

[@elidasilva5558]

Never heard of It sounds good

[@jayjaydeth]

Rumchata is one of the most amazing concoctions known to man. I'll definitely try this.

[@ericschubert7277]

who knew watching a guy mix drinks could be so entertaining. I love your show

[@joshuahammes1036]

I love your channel and what you do! I had learned another variation of the naughty dog and always just called it a root beer float. It was explained to me as basically a Colorado bulldog with a float of galliano. So I would do 2 oz of vodka with .75 oz of kahlua then fill the glass with half cream half coke and float galliano. Basically tastes exactly like a root beer float as well. Just wanted to share it with you :)

[@coreybellfaust5292]

Thank you so much for giving me more Kahlua drinks for my arsenal! I look forward to experimenting with these recipes.

[@Mr_Showtime]

The best thing about the St George bottle is that it says "the dude abides" on the bottle in super small lettering. Look for it next time you see that bottle!

[@cooperbrain]

stop cappin

[@bobschiebel3325]

The dude would not Abide. As a dudeist, only kaluhah will work.

[@bobschiebel3325]

Though, he has been known to use non-dairy creamer. So I imbibe how you will

[@hullahopbob]

One of the Best episodes you have done. Maybe because I love the big Lebowski

[@jeremyn6726]

Whoever comes up with your captions is awesome!

[@erinevans6739]

From a food scientist: 1. Cracking an egg on a flat surface is the preferred method for exactly the reasons you specified. 2. I believe its Nocello with a hard c like the cello instrument. At least that's how all the Italians I work with pronounce it. Also, shout out to the McPoyle bathrobe aesthetic.

[@Ransungg]

Even before you became the dude, you were always my MAN! Keep up the great work and keep chillin!

[@spaghetti7379]

Glad you remade this video and accepted you screwed it up before . Respect

[@parkerazz4385]

The cure lyrics for the tasting notes on the nauty dog!! I love it!!

[@jonlonglastname]

Got my pin and the straws. Keep doing what you are doing, and don't stress about shipping. It was the holidays, shipping always sucks. Thanks again! And "The Soul of the Dude" sounds like a cool drink to make.

[@MrBenfranz]

Cracked cube was a genius move.

[@gregoryunderwood4121]

Awaiting the day when you start providing your own custom HTD barware.❤️

[@anestitizedspaz]

Oh man. Definitely a missed opportunity to go bathrobe+apron and make it a Costume. Excellent as always. Edit: Oh man I remember my grandfather and his Greek sister-in-laws doing shots of Sambuca and Metaxa during Thanksgiving.

[@vermy8203]

As someone who is not yet old enough to drink, but is immensely excited to get into this world of exploration and mixing when the time comes, your channel only adds fuel to the fire. I’m 19 now, so it’s not too far off, but I’m excited to start being able to try new things. I might even look into doing some mixology as a hobby, just because I find it fascinating. I think your show is so entertaining and so informative in such a fun way!

[@pistachiodisguisey911]

This is straight up the best drink for someone who doesn’t “like” the taste of alcohol like me imo, the brand Cutwater has some really good premixed canned White Russians

[@killerzed2]

Americans have it though lol

[@thomasbenedict5725]

I was kind of upset by your last White Russian video because variations of the Russian are my favorite style of drinks to play with. so seeing you make the exact drink that is my favorite and love it makes me happy. although im sad to see its already a drink. I thought I made it up. Ive been calling it a rootbeer float. guess maybe ill start calling it a naughty dog now.

[@burlyjer]

I do need to try these, especially the Naughty Dog! 😋 Another drink that would go good in this list is one Bruce Campbell told us about at a Q&A (cant remember if he said he invented it but pretty sure that’s the case?) called the Rumdinger. Kahlua, dark rum, and ginger ale. I like to make it with a spiced rum too to get a little more sweetness .

[@hughesga1745]

Just tried the rootbeer float, ive loved them since i was a little kid and this hit my adult and kid side just right! THANK YOU

[@tongue-tied9755]

I like the subtle Eagles "Take it to the limit" reference. The dude hates the Eagles lol

[@howtodrink]

kerrrrrrrekt

[@Shaboigan]

Scrumtralescent, with art of Greg sipping a float would be a great shirt

[@evanulven8249]

Couple weekends ago a friend of mine mixed me one of these. But since he's lactose intolerant, he doesn't keep dairy around and use non-dairy coffee creamer. Was surprisingly good.

[@Harmacist_TX]

Great video! I prefer the Black Russian. Also, Coffee old fashions are the bomb!

[@TheRezAbides]

Happy 100th Anniversary of Prohibition in the US, everyone! Drink up!

[@greatcanadianbacon]

Lol what a legend, paying proper homage to a classic. Your the man Greg

[@beardwilliams]

Dude. The Naughty Dog has changed my life. Thanks for sharing Erick Castro's recipe. Recently I followed this recipe and I didn't have any heavy cream on hand, but I had some homemade whipped cream. Holy hell, it's even better with a dollop of that.

[@RichardCano]

I just made the Naughty Dog. Went out and found some 12 Year Rare Blend Appleton Estate because I’m out of Rum and specifically wanted to try this. I’m not a huge White Russian fan, but I’ve always wanted to find a cocktail with the same creamy sweet profile. I think Greg helped me find it. Thoughts: -A good flavorful rootbeer is essential. Something with good spice and head. Otherwise you won’t be adding much but dilution and sweetness. -Don’t go overboard with the cream. It’s tempting. But you’ll just mute the other flavors. 3/4 oz. max. -If you don’t have nutmeg, 1-2 dashes of Angostura, Bogart’s/Boker’s, or Walnut Bitters is very nice on top.

[@MrMcmurmur]

Watching you spill 10% of literally everything you pour in slow motion triggers me so much. I honestly can't understand how I keep watching.

[@uartendrau]

Measure, spill, and wince.

[@MaxsonAtTheFort]

I was just remembering an extremely easy martini recipe by Homer from the Simpsons. The Beertini - Simply add 1 beer into a Martini Glass.🤣

[@drew-horst]

This is the first video I watched on this channel. Feeling nostalgic

[@mikemikelson8767]

7:38 "we're gonna start this drink with one ounce of cold brew coffee" Please note, that combination of substantial amounts of ethanol with caffeine put a strain to your heart, so don't overdo it in any way possible.

[@JD-go2qj]

Alcohol is poisonous to the body, so health concerns aren't a priority 🤷
