Ice cubes
Equipment
Cocktail Shaker- Hawthorne strainer
- Jigger
- Coupe glass
Instructions
- Fill your cocktail shaker with ice.

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 This was actually how the drink was originally made, creating a boozy milkshake-like consistency.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.
