Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

1. Which cream does not curdle in cocktails? Cream with a high fat content (at least 30%) curdles less because it is more stable. You should also be careful when adding acidic ingredients such as lemon juice.
2. Can I replace cream with milk? Yes, but the creaminess will suffer. If you are looking for a lighter alternative, you can use oat or coconut milk.
3. How long does a cocktail with cream keep? Best enjoyed immediately! Since cream settles or curdles quickly, the cocktail should be prepared fresh.
4. Can I use vegan cream? Yes! There are great alternatives such as coconut or soy cream, which also offer a creamy consistency.
5. What glass should you serve cocktails with cream in? For a particularly stylish experience, a copper mug is ideal – it keeps the drink cool for longer and adds a touch of luxury.
6. Are there any non-alcoholic cream cocktails? Sure! Simply replace the alcohol with juices or syrups. A mango coconut dream with cream is also delicious without alcohol.
