Before the White Russian, there was the Black Russian. It was made with vodka and coffee liqueur (like Kahlua or Tia Maria), and first appeared in 1949. Years later, someone added cream and the White Russian was born. The first recipe was documented in the Oakland Tribune around 1965. The name might suggest it was invented in Russia, but that’s just a nod to the vodka in the recipe.
