Cream
Juice & mixers · usually a modifier · in 3 cocktails here
What it is
Single or double cream. Shake hard enough and it emulsifies into a much lighter texture than it pours.
What it tastes like
Fat, faint sweetness and a coating texture. It rounds off alcoholic heat more than it adds flavour.
What it does in a drink
Texture. It softens alcohol and carries fat-soluble flavour, at the cost of making the drink a dessert.
