But, is this cocktail truly a dessert?

The most popular dessert cocktail in the Great Lakes State is served cold, but not frozen. Cherries do not typically garnish this particular drink, but serving one with a cherry on top would not be horrible.

We have never even heard the term 'dessert cocktail' until now.

Everyone knows a Bloody Mary is a meal in a glass, so who are we to say there is no such thing as a dessert cocktail?

What is Michigan's favorite dessert cocktail?

Here's a hint - The Dude Abides. If you are a fan of the movie 'The Big Lebowski', chances are you have guessed that Michigan's favorite dessert cocktail is a White Russian.

What is in a White Russian?

According to Taste of Home, the ingredients for a White Russian are as follows,

• Vodka
• Kahlua
• Heavy Whipping Cream
• Ice

According to Coventry, a White Russian is America's go-to dessert cocktail. Can you name a competing dessert cocktail? Options are as follows,

• Pineapple Upside Down Cake
• Grasshopper
• Bushwacker
• Carjillo
• Hott Buttered Rum
• Sgroppino
• Strawberry Shortcake
• Mudslide
• Chocolate Martini
• Dirty Banana
• Nutty Irishman
• Tom and Jerry
• Peanut Butter Cup Martini
• Espresso Martini
• Golden Dream
• Peppermint Martini

We had no idea there were so many dessert cocktails to choose from.

Michigan is not the only state that appreciates a White Russian, it is the top dessert cocktail choice in 17 states.

Does anyone else suddenly feel like mixing up a pitcher of White Russians, putting on a robe, and watching 'The Big Lebowski'?

Cheers!
