Russian Cocktail
Like the Ninotchka, the Russian Cocktail is a vodka and creme de cacao drink. I'm finding that this combination is very pleasing (especially when it comes to the clarity of the drink) if not a little sugary. Gin, like Vigilant, adds spicy flavors that make drinking it more interesting.
2 oz. vodka (Stolichnaya used)
1 1/2 oz. creme de cacao
1 1/2 oz. gin (Vigilant used)
Combine all ingredients in a shaker with ice. Shake and strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
