Colorado Bulldog

If you're anything like me, White Russians taste okay. I want to like them more than I actually like them.

I wish I liked them as much as I like mudslides. After watching "The Big Lebowski," I really, really wished I liked them.

Ahem. Introducing a new drink, the Colorado Bulldog:

• 1 cup crushed ice
• 1 (1.5 fluid ounce) jigger vodka
• 1 (1.5 fluid ounce) jigger coffee flavored liqueur, i.e. Kahlua
• 1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle cola-flavored carbonated beverage
• 1 fluid ounce light cream

Fill a tall 16 ounce glass 1/3 full of crushed ice. Pour in the vodka and coffee liqueur. Fill to within 1 inch of the rim with cola. Fill to within 1/2 inch with light cream. Stir to blend.

Since I had a bottle of ready-made White Russian in my freezer, I just used it and added some Coke.

Yum.

(Note: Some recipes call for a "splash" of cola. So experiment until you find a tasty combination.)
