I study in an American universe. He once explained to Americans that the Russians do not drink diluted: they do not put ice in soda, vodka is not diluted. And he added, “That’s how you drink coffee with cognac?” Do you make coffee in the coffee maker and add a little cognac? Well yes. But in Russia, they take a turquoise, pour a glass of cognac there, bring it to boiling and make coffee. In the cognac.

I believe, and where are they going? The rest of the Russians are not really diluted. We had to prepare for them "coffee with cognac in Russian" and drink them. By the way, delicious!
