The White Russian was created in the 1960’s, when someone added Cream to a Black Russian. It gets its name from the Cream color and because Vodka is associated with Russia. The drink was heavily featured in the movie “The Big Labowski,” though it was called a “Caucasian” in the film.

The Black Russian was created in the 1940’s by Gustave Tops at the Hotel Metropole in Brussels, Belgium. It was supposedly created for American Ambassador Perle Mesta.

.75 oz.Simple Syrup

  • Pour into a Collins Glass and let sit for 2 Minutes
  • Pour Soda Water in the Center of the Top until the Foam is about to Fall Over
  • Stick a Straw where you Poured the Soda Water

The Ramos Gin Fizz is a riff on the Gin Fizz, thought it barely resembles it. It was invented in 1888 by Henry Charles Ramos at the Imperial Cabinet Saloon in New Orleans, Louisiana. This Cocktail is a pain in the butt to make, so I wouldn’t recommend ordering it at a Bar unless it is on the menu. It was so popular, and such a chore to make, that Ramos apparently had a whole staff of “Shaker Men” constantly shaking this Drink. This is an Official IBA Cocktail.

The Shirley Temple is named after the famous Child Actress (and later a U.S. Diplomat) of the same name. Shirley Temple herself didn’t actually like the drink, however. It is believed that the Mocktail was invented at the Brown Derby restaurant in Los Angeles, California in the 1930’s. The drink was considered a drink for girls, and a similar Mocktail, the Roy Rogers, is considered a boys drink. The Alcoholic version of this drink is the Dirty Shirley.
