Helpful Tips for the Creamy Butterscotch Delight Cocktail

Chill Your Glass – Place your rocks or martini glass in the freezer for 10 minutes before serving to keep your drink extra smooth and cold.

Use Fresh Ice – Fresh, clean ice prevents dilution and keeps the flavors bold and creamy.

Shake Gently – Since this drink contains dairy, avoid over-shaking to prevent the cream from becoming too frothy.

Experiment with Garnishes – A whipped cream topping, caramel drizzle, or chocolate shavings can add an extra dessert-like touch.

Make It a Frozen Drink – Blend the ingredients with ice for a slushy, milkshake-like version.

Prefer It Stronger? Add ½ oz vanilla or caramel vodka for an extra boozy kick.

Turn It Into a Shot – Reduce the ingredients to ½ oz each and serve in chilled shot glasses for a fun party treat.

Pair It with Dessert – Goes great with chocolate cake, tiramisu, butter cookies, or even a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

• Looking for a nutty twist? Add ½ oz of amaretto for a hint of almond flavor.
