NickyNeptune: Far out, man. Far fucking out.
BOHIFOBRE: Man, if only there was a way I could have a white russian 30hrs from now instead of right now.
Bigstar976: The limited edition Big Lebowski Blu Ray gives the recipe. It’s just vodka, Kaluha and half and half.
Afa1234: Gotta mix it with your finger to be official.
YouCanjam: Shut the fuck up donnie, the dude doesn’t use a recipe or shot glasses. EL Dudarino eyeballs his caucasians. That recipe looks like something the Big Lebowski would make Brandt make for him.
kramjr: This is impressively pretensious
jonride: Careful man there’s a beverage here!
willyvj: Yeah Bruh like I’m going to sou vide Milk for a fucking White Russian…damn hipsters
hogdawson: This is not what the dude is about. Waiting 24 hours for your bullshit cream to cook?
Cesaro_Summability: Another Caucasian, Gary
qawsedrf12: sweet, I got a sous vide set up for my birthday… totally gonna toast some cream tonight
edit: just got home from work… 24 hours to go
edit2: fuck, no rum, why is the rum always gone?
edit 3: both Kahlua and Smirnoff websites list heavy cream
SassyMoron: The big lebowski makes his caucasians with half and half or with powdered milk. Never with cream.
Ilejwads: looks amazing, nice cocktail too

MingDynahsty: Toasted cream? Very undude.
ThisIsTheMilos: I was really hoping to see the recreations where he uses dry non-dairy creamer… the dude is never going to toast his cream for a beverage.
Inaglasscage: Tattoo it on you forehead!
cinemarshall: I approve https://i.imgur.com/JZmWkZA.jpg
Traylor_Trash87: Some new information has come to light….
Neither of these are the drinks from the movie
TheDudeAbides95: Dude, fuckin A!

Marshmallow vodka with it, holy crap!!!

DevilishGainz: anyone have a collection of these cocktails?
mouser58907: I’m not sure if he does it in the movie but if you make White Russians and don’t use vanilla vodka you are doing it wrong. Try it sometime.
