[Rhodes22-list] Political Insult:Explanation for ED

[elle]

Ed:

Put Wikipedia and the OED (Oxford English Dictionary) at the top of your bookmarks, then USE them:

This article is about the ALCOOLIC BEVERAGE. For other meanings, see White Russian.

The drink is NOT TRADITIONALLY RUSSIAN, but is SO NAMED DUE TO VODKA BEING THE MAIN INGREDIENT. 
This drink is designated as an IBA Official Cocktail:

Coffee liqueur

†White Russian recipe at International Bartenders Association
A White Russian is a sweet cocktail made from vodka, coffee liqueur (e.g., Kahlúa or Tia Maria), and cream served in an old-fashioned glass with ice. Milk is often used as a substitute for cream.



The OXFORD ENGLISH DICTIONARY ONLIINE refers to the first mention of the word "White Russian" in the sense of a cocktail as appearing in the Oakland (California) Tribune on 21 November 1965. It was placed in the newspaper as an insert: "White Russian. 1 oz. each Coffee Southern, vodka, cream."

Not a rabble-rouser as you are trying to portray me.
