History & Origins

The Black Russian originated in the early 1950s at the Hotel Metropol in Brussels, created by legendary bartender Gustavo Folantin. This vodka-based classic exemplifies post-war sophistication and Cold War-era drink culture. Unlike its famous cousin the White Russian, it maintains vodka's clean profile without dairy dilution.
