It's a Tuesday in January. It's cold as balls outside. You just got off work so you're like, "I wanna get turnt a little (but not too much!) by myself and watch some Netflix". You also like the movie The Big Lebowski, so you already have an affinity towards white russians, but you like Baileys so you want to work that in some how.
ENTER THE BLIND RUSSIAN
What's the difference between a White Russian and a Blind Russian you ask? Baileys. Baileys is always the answer. White Russians have cow udder milk and Blind Russians have that good hearty stuff you put in everything. Also they might make you blind.
