Cream
What it is
Cream is a dairy product that is rich in fat and is obtained from the milk of mammals. It is a key ingredient in many cocktails, adding a smooth and velvety texture that enhances the overall mouthfeel of the drink. Cream can also help to balance out the flavors of stronger spirits, making it a versatile component in both classic and modern cocktail recipes.

It has been a staple in European cuisine, particularly in French cooking, where it is often used to enrich sauces and desserts. Its incorporation into cocktails became popular in the 19th century.
In cocktails
Bartenders often use cream in cocktails to create rich, dessert-like drinks. It can be shaken into cocktails like the White Russian or layered in drinks for visual appeal. When using cream, it's important to shake the cocktail well to ensure the cream is fully incorporated.
