White Russian

          The White Russian is a classic cocktail invented in the mid-20th century when some bartender or another added a splash of cream to a Black Russian. The drink enjoyed some popularity but quickly came to be considered too decadent by a younger generation who also considered the drink to be a bit dated. 

          That is until the 1998 cult classic "The Big Lebowski" resurrected this sophisticated cocktail as "The Dude" ( a character in the film played by none other than Jeff Bridges) drinks White Russians exclusively. This banished the drink's stodgy rep entirely.
