Belarus protested for a name change, but there is really black Russia in our cocktail industry! The English word for the Black Russian cocktail is really Black Russian. How to make it: And the Belarusian cocktail, the English name is also logical is White Russian. The production method is also very simple - welcome to pay attention to [Old Squint's Spice Kitchen]

Yesterday (March 16), the Embassy of Belarus in China issued a document requesting a change in the name of the country in Chinese: from today onwards, the correct name of "Belarus" will be used. "Our country is not part of Russia, nor is it a certain region of Russia, and there is no country like "Black Russia".

For many, Belarus is a country that is somewhat familiar but more unfamiliar. In fact, the origin of the name is a transliteration of the Republic of Belarus (Belarusian: Рэспубліка Беларусь, English: the republic of Belarus), and there is no such thing as "Belarus is whiter than Russia".

However, in the cocktail world, "Belarus" is really a famous cocktail, and the name comes from precisely because it evolved from another wine, "Black Russia".

Because of the use of the Russians' favorite vodka as the base wine, and the addition of coffee sweet wine, the color is darker, hence the name.

Black Russian cocktail

1 Add ice cubes in a wine glass.

2 pour in 2 ounces of vodka.

Take 3 ounces of coffee syrup or coffee liquor.

4 Slowly pour into a glass.

This wine contains the fierceness of vodka, the alcohol is high, but it is very good to taste, thanks to the soft sweetness and outstanding aroma of coffee syrup or coffee liqueur, which makes it one of the classic cocktails.

In fact, it is a layer of white cream added to the "Black Russia", hence the name.

2 Stir well to combine.

Compared with Black Russia, the taste of this wine is a little more mellow than milk iced coffee, and moderate alcohol, which more fully stimulates the aroma, the taste is pleasing, and it is more suitable for girls to drink.

Belarusian Cocktail'

I believe that with the name of the Belarusian country changed to Belarus, the original meaning of this cocktail will be more familiar to everyone!

Casually, the capital of belarus is the "Minsk" that the people of Shenzhen are very familiar with! The aircraft carrier Minsk is the second ship of the Kiev-class aircraft carrier, named after Minsk, the capital of Belarus. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia succeeded the ship. However, due to the lack of economic strength of Russia after the collapse of the Soviet Union, it was retired in 1993. The Minsk was bought by South Korea's Daewoo Group in late 1995 and later converted into a military theme park in Shenzhen after being purchased by CITIC in August 1998.
