Recipe for Virgin White Russians?

[Marley23]

I'm looking for a recipe for fake (as in no alcohol) White Russians. Apparently you can't hand out free alcohol to kids these days. Since a White Russian is just vodka and kahlua and milk, I don't know if this can be done. Is there something out there that tastes a lot like kahlua?

[DrFidelius]

Coffee syrup?

I wouldn't know myself, as I drink neither Kahlua or coffee-milk.

[Marley23]

That might work. We're going to need to do some taste testing.

[garygnu]

Some really strong coffee might do the trick.

I think you'll want a little dollop of chocolate syrup in there too, but not much.

[pulykamell]

Strong coffee, simple syrup, and a touch of vanilla should do the trick. Regular kahlua doesn't have chocolate.

[Tequila Mockingbird]

I always thought it had a slight chocolate taste though there is no chocolate in it.

Yet again, another thread with alluring title and disapointing content.

There are a lot of kahlua-flavored syrups out there. I used to mix them a great deal back in my coffee shop days. They ought to work.

I don't have an answer for you, Marley, but I'm feeling kind of nosy today...
Why do you want to hand out White Russians to kids?

I always made mine with half and half. I don't think I've ever made one with milk. I guess you could substitute whole milk. I'm also thinking of some kind of combination of espresso, a dab of chocolate syrup and something like a dash of vanilla to simulate the Kahlua.

Gah, beaten to the punch again, I see.

You can get flavor extracts of your favorite alcoholic beverages.

We're having a memorial event for my brother and it's going to be sort of Big Lebowski-themed. It's going to be at a bowling alley, and we're thinking about fake White Russians and maybe pigs in blankets that are cut to resemble toes.

Ah, crap.
I don't know how, but I'd missed the news. Just now caught up with your other thread. I'm so very sorry.

To Tyler.

[Dogzilla]

Coffee and/or coffee syrup + milk?

Isn't that just a frappacino?

[Sigmagirl]

Served in the right glass, it could substitute admirably.

Salud.

I was going to say "chocolate milk," but obviously there are better suggestions.

I've seen Kahlua-flavored Italian syrup at Cost Plus World Market. Adding that to milk or half-and-half sounds like a plan.

Really strong coffee, as has been suggested here, would need to be sweetened. A lot.

Thank you.

You know, I think I'd assumed there was chocolate in kahlua because of the color. Shows what I know. It sounds like the coffee component of kahlua is Arabica. I don't know how far we're really going to go for accuracy but I'll pass the word around.

I've ordered sugar-free syrups from this company before, and they've been pretty good. Never tried the regular versions, but it's worth a shot. I'd go w/ the syrup and milk, no chocolate.

[robby]

The closest thing I can think of is coffee milk, the official state drink of Rhode Island (seriously!). It's very popular there, and is perfectly appropriate for kids.
