One of the best running jokes through out The Big Lebowski is The Dude and his special relationship with his favorite drink "The Caucasian". There is the cream shopping scene in the beginning where he is writing out a check for $0.69 with cream dripping off his mustache because he tasted it to make sure it was fresh. There is the classic line "Careful man, there's a beverage here!" when at one point the Dude was concerned about spilling his little friend. And my favorite, when put in a situation where cream was not available The Dude made a Caucasian with non-dairy creamer.
Now, Dude, "Caucasian" is not a name one would apply to their cocktail where I come from. In fact it isn't, the Caucasian is known worldwide as a White Russian (where The Dude got his nick-name for them we may never know). And According to Mr. Boston, this is what it is comprised of:
1 oz. Coffee Liqueur
2 oz. Vodka
Milk or Cream
Pour the first 2 over ice, and top off with the milk or cream. Just one taste and you'll understand why the Dude loved them so...
