I love cream cocktails because they’re smooth and cut the sharpness of spirits, so they’re great for everyone. They mix indulgence with amazing flavors, giving a comforting feel that stands out. Using cream, milk, eggs, or nut milks makes them fit many tastes and needs. Adding fruits like strawberries or peaches brings a fresh twist, making them sweet but not too much. They look stunning in a chilled glass, making drinking them a treat. Check out our roundup for a truly satisfying taste.

Mudslide
All ingredients in a mudslide get mixed into a shaker with ice. Vodka or Espresso Vodka are the two most popular choices. You’ll also mix coffee liqueur and Irish cream in the shaker. No mudslide is complete with chocolate shavings as a garnish. Make the drink picture-perfect with chocolate syrup and whipped cream. Then, dive into the holiday season with a mudslide.

White Russian
Start by pouring the vodka into a glass with ice. Then, add Kahlua, which is a coffee liqueur. Lastly, pour the heavy cream directly into the glass. Stir the vodka and liqueur between the first two ingredients and the milk. Depending on your preference, you can substitute the heavy cream with half and half, almond, or oat milk. However, full cream will float at the top rather than sinking to the bottom.

Pink Squirrel
The pink squirrel cream cocktail is similar to the grasshopper because both include crème de cacao and heavy cream. However, a pink squirrel requires crème de noyaux, an almond-flavored liqueur. The process of making a pink squirrel is the same as the grasshopper. First, combine all the ingredients in a shaker until everything is chilled and blended.

Blueberry Chai Cream Cocktail
This blueberry chai cream cocktail is the most time-consuming on this list. However, the tangy taste is worth the time. Place blueberries and cream soda in a saucepan until they boil. Let the mixture sit until it simmers before continuing. Strain the solid bits once it cools, leaving you with a thick syrup mixture. Pour spiced rum, blueberry cream syrup, and chai tea into a cocktail shaker. Strain into a glass with ice and add additional cream soda into the glass.
