Reports on the web vary: what’s the collective vote on the best way to mix a white russian?

How would the Dude like it best?

1.5 ounces vodka  
1.5 ounces Kahlua  
.5 ounces cream

I don’t really use cream. Land O Lakes makes a really good fat free half-and-half I love. Or in a pinch I will use milk. I think The Dude even makes his with powdered non-dairy creamer if that is all there is.
