Instructions

  • Fill a coupe or rocks glass with ice and set it aside to chill while preparing the cocktail.

  • Add ice to the shaker and shake vigorously for 15–20 seconds to achieve a creamy, frothy texture.

Notes

Pro Tips

  • Half-and-half substitute: For an even creamier version, use heavy cream, or for a lighter option, try whole milk.
  • Chilled glass: This step enhances the cocktail’s creamy consistency and keeps it perfectly cold.
  • Garnish flair: Dust a little powdered sugar or grated nutmeg on the whipped cream for added holiday charm.
