Russian coke: the drink that causes a sensation
News News blog
Russian coke is no ordinary drink. It has nothing to do with illegal drugs, but still manages to cause a stir in bar contexts. With just a few ingredients - vodka, lemon, coffee powder and sugar - it mixes everything up for an hour.
A tender trail of devastation in short-term memory
Anyone who was lucky (or unlucky?) enough to attend a Russian coke session will probably not remember any of the details. But you will remember this special moment in your brain: click, blubb - and everything that just seemed complicated has simply vanished into thin air. All that remains is a tender trace of devastation in the short-term memory of those present.
The recipe to copy
If you would like to try Russian coke yourself, you should memorize the recipe (and not just store it in your short-term memory)
- Place half a teaspoon each of coffee powder and sugar on a slice of lemon cut in half
- Pour vodka into a shot glass
- Put the lemon morsels in your mouth and chew well
- Wash down the coffee powder and sugar with the vodka
