Why isn't there a recipe for a typical white russian coctail mix? That's what I wanted when I visited this page ;). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Renamed username yaidieGhoxihulaXohNgaikeeYouso ( talk • contribs) 13:15, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
Regarding Cultural References, what Alex in "A Clockwork Orange" refers to as "Milk Plus" is not a white russian. It is milk laced with a hallucionogen, mainly LSD or PCP. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.140.201.61 ( talk) 18:19, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
And by the way, the liquid cream must be shaken with ice in a mixer without the Vodka and Kahlua, till the cistency starts to thicken, than you pour the cream carefully over the stirred mixure from Vodka and Kahlua and you have the traditional method of preparing a white russian... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.110.70.55 ( talk) 21:40, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
Not the movie, but the book Into the Wild states that Christopher McCandless favorite drink was a White Russian. I feel this should be a part of the popular culture section. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hibbetrm ( talk • contribs) 21:38, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
The IBA says that the drink has to be stirred, so a picture of the unfinished drink in the IBA infobox is not a good thing. 101.103.9.197 ( talk) 18:16, 24 May 2014 (UTC)
I can't find any mention of a coffee based alcoholic drink in the Soviet cookbook except where it says that coffee liqueur is best to drink with cream ("рекомендуется пить со сливками"). I don't see a recipe. Also note that according to my dictionary "liquor" and "liqueur" both translate as "ликер"; "liquor" is obviously wrong so I'll change that.

There is no evidence in this article that the drink has any connection to Russia or to the Russian language. It even says in the History section, "Neither drink has any known Russian origin." And there is no evidence that its name in Russian is anything other than "white russian". Without a source, it's not appropriate to add a Russian language name to the first sentence of the article (or anywhere else). GA-RT-22 ( talk) 18:39, 16 January 2023 (UTC)
in fact the drink does have Russian origin according to the website https://www.travelallrussia.com/blog/traditional-russian-drinks
States: White Russian was named after the White guards who participated in the Russian Civil War of 1918-1922. B1blazin ( talk) 03:35, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
