Cream Dessert Cocktails
PREPARATION NOTE:
If using cream in a mixing cup, do not forget to fill the mixing cup 1/4 full with ice prior to adding the ingredients. This will chill them as they combine, then your cocktail will be chilled before it even hits the glass!
SUBSTITUTION NOTE:
All of these drink recipes call for half & half cream, however you may also substitute the half & half cream for a full scoop of vanilla ice cream. Simply add the ice cream to the other ingredients to a blender and mix together on high until all ingredients are completely combined, then pour into a glass and serve.
