Ingredients

Metric US

• 22.5 ml 2/3 fl oz crème de noyaux liqueur

• 22.5 ml 2/3 fl oz white crème de cacao liqueur

• 45 ml 1 1/2 fl oz heavy cream

• Ice cubes

Equipment

• 
  Cocktail Shaker
• 
  Hawthorne strainer
• 
  Jigger
• 
  Coupe glass

Instructions

• Fill your cocktail shaker with ice.
• Pour the crème de noyaux, white crème de cacao, and heavy cream into the shaker.
• Shake vigorously for about 10-15 seconds to ensure all ingredients are well combined and chilled.
• Strain the mixture into your chilled cocktail glass.
• Optional: Garnish with a light dusting of freshly grated nutmeg on top.

Notes

• For a creamier, more indulgent version of this cocktail, you can substitute the heavy cream with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. This was actually how the drink was originally made, creating a boozy milkshake-like consistency. If you choose this option, blend all ingredients with the ice cream instead of shaking with ice.
