Taste profile
Creamy cocktails
Creamy cocktails get their body from dairy, egg white or coconut cream, turning a normally thin, boozy liquid into something with real weight and texture. That richness needs a counterbalance — coffee, citrus or a bitter liqueur — or the drink collapses into pure sweetness with no structure. Shaken hard and long, they reward technique: a properly emulsified cream cocktail should look almost velvety in the glass.
