The Dude buy it just for the White Russian.

Pretty sure in 2025 he would use soy-milk ๐Ÿ˜

When you start drinking in the morning you can't go all-in

[โ€“] bobs_monkey@lemm.ee 5 points 2 months ago

Little of this, little of that

vodka and milk is not a valid recipe for a white russian. idk what the hell the dude thinks he's drinking but it's definitely not that.

[โ€“] PotatoLibre@feddit.it 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I don't remeber what a White Russian should be made of from my bartender years, but if it was cream, well I stay with the Dude.

At one point you've to prioritize your calories.

Kahlua - necessary Vodka - necessary Cream???? > Milk

[โ€“] lime@feddit.nu 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

yeh but he skips the liqueur too

[โ€“] lime@feddit.nu 2 points 2 months ago

indeed he doesn't. either there's sobe other scene i'm thinking of or i'm misremembering

[โ€“] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

He uses half & half throughout most of the movie.

I've never seen someone drink half & half the way people drink milk. Like just a straight glass of half & half.

It is used almost exclusively as a substitute for heavy cream in recipes, so my mind considers it cream.

[โ€“] lime@feddit.nu 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

but is it milk or cream? is it like 5%?

[โ€“] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

50/50. Half cream, half whole milk... But the few times I've tasted it on its own, it is much closer to cream imo

[โ€“] lime@feddit.nu 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

whole...?

i get that it would taste like cream, that taste takes over.

[โ€“] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Are you asking what whole milk is, or...?

[โ€“] lime@feddit.nu 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

yeah ive never heard the term.

[โ€“] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Ah... Well I'm sure you can figure out google if you really care.

[โ€“] lime@feddit.nu 1 points 2 months ago

well annoyingly it's mostly ads and ai and lifestyle tips. but ok, it's just 3%. i thought it was weirder than that.

[โ€“] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The Dude is both chill, and poor. Not everyone has coffee liqueur and creamer money. He makes do with what's around and he's happy about it.

[โ€“] Simulation6@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Coffee liqueur is super easy to make. Cheap vodka, super strong coffee and a vanilla bean. Let it sit for a month. You can add glycerin if you want to increase the viscosity, but not needed for white russians.

[โ€“] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 months ago

Obviously not something the Dude would do, but I might try this.

[โ€“] PotatoLibre@feddit.it 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That's cause you're young.

When you get to the 50s you can't use cream, bur you doesn't stop to like white russian

[โ€“] lime@feddit.nu 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

i think the kahlua is probably the most important thing there... otherwise it just tastes like milk.

[โ€“] breecher@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

And he uses both in the scenes where we see him making the drink.

[โ€“] lime@feddit.nu 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)
