Cheers – This Is Michigan’s Favorite Dessert Cocktail
Michigan cannot get enough of the most popular dessert cocktail in the United States.
But, is this cocktail truly a dessert?
The most popular dessert cocktail in the Great Lakes State is served cold, but not frozen. Cherries do not typically garnish this particular drink, but serving one with a cherry on top would not be horrible.
We have never even heard the term 'dessert cocktail' until now.
Everyone knows a Bloody Mary is a meal in a glass, so who are we to say there is no such thing as a dessert cocktail?
What is Michigan's favorite dessert cocktail?
Here's a hint - The Dude Abides. If you are a fan of the movie 'The Big Lebowski', chances are you have guessed that Michigan's favorite dessert cocktail is a White Russian.
What is in a White Russian?
According to Taste of Home, the ingredients for a White Russian are as follows,
- Vodka
- Kahlua
- Heavy Whipping Cream
- Ice
According to Coventry, a White Russian is America's go-to dessert cocktail. Can you name a competing dessert cocktail? Options are as follows,
- Pineapple Upside Down Cake
- Grasshopper
- Bushwacker
- Carjillo
- Hott Buttered Rum
- Sgroppino
- Strawberry Shortcake
- Mudslide
- Chocolate Martini
- Dirty Banana
- Nutty Irishman
- Tom and Jerry
- Peanut Butter Cup Martini
- Espresso Martini
- Golden Dream
- Peppermint Martini
We had no idea there were so many dessert cocktails to choose from.
Michigan is not the only state that appreciates a White Russian, it is the top dessert cocktail choice in 17 states.
Does anyone else suddenly feel like mixing up a pitcher of White Russians, putting on a robe, and watching 'The Big Lebowski'?
Cheers!
