> a black russian (vodka with coke)

The barman doesn't know what the fuck they are doing and I used to work amongst functionally drunk barmen. A black russian is vodka, coffee liquor (like Kahlua) and milk (optional). Even if he wasn't drunk what he gave your friend was shit.

To be specific: a black russian is a white russian without the milk.

A tall black russian tops off a black russian with coke, so maybe that is what was ordered (or what the drunk bartender heard).

Fair enough, it was some time ago and I wouldn't really order either (what a waste of vodka), so I stand corrected.
