Greek yogurt
What it is
Greek yogurt is a thick, creamy dairy product that is made by straining regular yogurt to remove the whey, resulting in a denser texture and higher protein content. It is known for its tangy flavor and is often used in both savory and sweet dishes. In cocktails, Greek yogurt can add a unique creaminess and a slight tartness, making it an interesting ingredient for innovative drinks.
