Which cocktail features vodka, cream, and is typically served on the rocks with a milk fill?

• A. White Russian
• B. Black Russian
• C. Cuba Libre
• D. Moscow Mule

Answer: (A)

Identifying cocktails by ingredients and how they’re served helps you pin down the drink. A White Russian is defined by vodka with a dairy element, specifically cream, and is typically served over ice in a rocks glass with a milk-like finish from the cream. The standard build is vodka, coffee liqueur, then cream, creating a creamy, smooth texture as you sip. The other options don’t include the dairy component: a Black Russian uses vodka and coffee liqueur with no cream; a Cuba Libre is rum with cola and lime; a Moscow Mule is vodka with ginger beer and lime. So the combination of vodka, cream, and the on-the-rocks presentation with a milk finish points to White Russian.
