Black Russian
Black Russian is a classic two‑ingredient cocktail made from vodka and coffee liqueur, commonly served over ice and known for its simple, bittersweet coffee flavor. It is relatively energy‑dense for a single drink at about 279kcal per 100g and contains appreciable added sugars. Nutritionally it offers negligible protein, fiber or vitamins and only small amounts of minerals, so it is best enjoyed occasionally rather than as a beverage choice for nourishment. From a health perspective, the combination of alcohol and added sugar means it provides little protective nutrients and can be a source of empty calories; choosing lower‑sugar or lower‑alcohol alternatives will reduce its dietary impact.
