Black and Orange Russian

The classic Black Russian is made with 1 part Kahlúa and 1 part vodka over ice, but I gave it a bit of a twist by using ABSOLUT Mandarin, a mandarin and citrus infused vodka. Add a bit of orange peel garnish and you have an updated classic drink suitable for…well pretty much anytime if you ask me!
