Cream cocktails are the perfect drink for the fall and winter seasons.
Many of these drinks are thick due to the use of cream, but the flavors are never dulled from the liquor and other ingredients.
Best Cream Cocktails
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.
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.
Say happy holidays with a Brandy Alexander dessert cocktail.
First, pour cognac, creme de cacao, and cream into a shaker. Shake until the ingredients have been blended and chilled on the ice.
Grate some nutmeg over the top to garnish and enjoy the holiday flavors.
Another holiday favorite is the grasshopper cocktail. It includes crème de menthe, which is a sweet, mint-flavored liqueur. It comes in white and green colors for your preference. The grasshopper also includes crème de cacao, a sweet, chocolate-flavored liqueur.
Shake the crème de menthe, crème de cacao, and heavy cream in a cocktail shaker until the ingredients are blended and chilled.
Add whipped cream, chocolate sprinkles, or candy as a garnish on top.
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.
Shake Blue Chair Bay Coconut Rum, half and half, and vanilla in a shaker. Shake well until all the ingredients are well chilled.
The best way to garnish is to rim the martini glass in honey, then in coconut flakes.
This maple and bourbon cocktail is the perfect fall drink. Sip the sweet maple flavor, a float of cream, and a light dusting of nutmeg by the fireplace.

Next, pour heavy cream over the back of a spoon to ensure the cream floats on the bourbon.
Garnish with nutmeg shavings and indulge in this sweet-tasting cocktail all season long.
You can prepare a peachy orange cream cocktail by mashing peach and orange slices into the glass. You add the ingredients directly into the glass and stir if necessary. Add vanilla simple syrup and vodka into the glass filled with ice.

This blueberry chai cream cocktail is the most time-consuming on this list. However, the tangy taste is worth the time.
