About
The Black Russian is said to have been invented in 1949 by a Belgian bartender, Gustave Tops, at the Hotel Metropole in Brussels. The story goes that the cocktail was created in honor of a special guest, Perle Mesta, the United States Ambassador to Luxembourg, at an event at the hotel. It thus became one of the most famous cocktails of the time.
