The recipe for the Tall Black Russian is now missing, I'll add it to the Black Russian page, rather than having it be lost. Gawd forbid someone comes to wikipedia after hearing the term "Tall Black Russian" and they do not find anything about it

The Tall Black Russian keeps getting deleted. It is way more popular then the Black Russian, so I don't get why someone keeps deleting it. If you see it being deleted again, please revert it back up and put a note on here. Wikipedia should not be devoid of Tall Black Russians just because one user feels it should be deleted, the same as the page
Germany shouldn't be deleted

Piranha
I've really got to disagree. My understanding is that a Black Russian is basically the same as a White Russian but without the milk or cream. The drink with the ingredients listed here is known as a Piranha (vodka, creme de cacao, and Coke). Many cocktail websites and books disagree with this page as well.

Okay, I changed it to what it really is. Vodka and coffee liqueur. Considering this site uses the IBA as a reference, perhaps one should look into what the IBA says a Black Russian is. Vodka and coffee liqueur.

A note to any future editors that read this, the IBA is actually a very small organization and their "drink list" is also extraordinarily small. The use of the IBA as a Wikipedia guideline has been disputed in the past and you should probably not rely on it when making decisions on Wikipedia drinks articles.

It should also be noted that the IBA and their drink list may be small, but that is because they are highly selective. They're a well respected organization that has been around for almost 60 years.
