You do not need to memorize a page of bartender rules to decide how to mix a drink. Use one shortcut: texture gets shaken, clear spirit-forward cocktails get stirred, and bubbles get added last.

A White Russian should be creamy and coffee-rich without tasting like melted dessert. Start with our 2:1:1 ratio, then choose half-and-half, heavy cream or milk depending on how rich you want the glass.

Measure it once, chill it once, then let your freezer do the rest. This 4:1 Freezer Martini is pre-diluted and ready to pour whenever Martini hour happens.
