The movie-turned-cult-phenomena-turned-drink-resurgence combo, courtesy of The Big Lebowsi, is going to make your holidays that much better. According to a recent article posted by the New York Times, the movie circa 2008 is bringing the "Caucasians" (and bowling and milkshakes) back.
“When I first encountered it in the 1970s, the White Russian was something real alcoholics drank, or beginners,” said David Wondrich, the drinks correspondent for Esquire. Now, ordering the drink is “the mark of the hipster,” he said.
Therefore, drop your PBR and pick up your very own creamy liqueur this holiday season. Party it up at the bowling alley, listen to some Hot Chip (who were so inspired as to create a drink variant they call the Black Tarantula) and watch the movie before the next cult sensation takes over (oh wait... counterculture already died).
