Remember When is a local dairy that sells its milk at our farmer's market. It is low-temperature pasteurized, and non-homogenized, so the cream rises to the top. I woke up this morning fantasizing about it. More precisely, I was fantasizing about it in a cocktail. I was thinking of cocktails that would function as an adequate eye-opener, and contain milk, and satisfy a Dale/David Project requirement. I decided that I would make a White Russian, but it wasn't in the book. The Black Russian is, however, and Dale describes it as "a classic." He uses a 1:1 ratio of vodka to Kahlúa. Gary Regan in his Joy of Mixology recommends a 2:1 ratio. Regan also suggests that this drink offers a great opportunity for creativity, substituting rum or tequila for the vodka.

What I really wanted this morning was a White Russian...
