Café Russe

Café Russe

Nothing is colder than winter in Moscow, yet the blankets of snow make this historic city a blanket of diamonds that is a site to behold. The following is just one version of the great marriages of cuisine, chocolate and coffee, with a touch of old Russia, vodka. If American bourbon or Scotch whiskey is your favorite, pour it on. This tastes quite delicious without any alcohol at all.
