Handmaids And Caucasians

watching ‘Handmaids Tale’ and drinking Caucasians
what does that mean?

the movie
Handmaids Tale
a story about

kidnapping
religious fanaticism
objectification
brutalization and subjugation of women
slavery
torture
brainwashing
insanity social stratification
loyalty love

accompanied by

a truly international adult beverage

the Black Russian a cocktail
five parts vodka to two parts coffee liqueur
created in 1949 by Gustave Tops a Belgian barman at the Hotel Metropol
to honor Perle Mesta, United States Ambassador to Luxembourg

the drink owes its name to the use of vodka
a typical Russian spirit and the blackness of the coffee liqueur

with the addition of cream
The Black Russian
is magically transformed into

The White Russian nicknamed ‘The Caucasian’
(not for the color of its skin but because the caucus mountains reside in Russia)

The White Russian popularized as the favorite drink of the character
Mr. Jeffrey “The Dude” Lebowski and probably progenitor of many ‘Dudisms’
in

the movie
The Big Lebowski
a story about

kidnapping
a defaced rug
brutalization of a pacifist
liberalism
nihilism
mistaken identity
bowling
insanity social stratification
loyalty love

watching ‘Handmaids Tale’ and drinking caucasians
what does that mean?

does it matter?

smoke a doob
drink a Caucasian
meditate

The Dude abides
