Raspberry Cream Dream Cocktail

Thanks so much for stopping by! If you’re looking for a drink that’s more dessert than cocktail—but still packs a little punch—this Raspberry Cream Dream is the perfect pick. It’s rich, fruity, and ultra-creamy with the perfect blend of peach, raspberry, and a soft vanilla-like finish from the vodka and whipped cream.

I made this after a friend requested “something that tastes like raspberry shortcake but in a glass”—and let me tell you, mission accomplished. It’s a little flirty, a little indulgent, and 100% satisfying.

The Raspberry Cream Dream Cocktail is a rich, fruity blend of vodka, peach schnapps, heavy cream, and raspberry liqueur, served over crushed ice and topped with a swirl of whipped cream and a cherry. It’s part cocktail, part dessert, and fully delicious.

Ingredients

• ½ oz Vodka
• ½ oz Peach Schnapps
• 2 oz Heavy Whipping Cream
• Splash of Raspberry Liqueur (like Chambord)
• Crushed Ice
• Whipped Cream (for topping)
• 1 Cherry (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Glass

Fill your favorite glass (rocks glass or dessert glass works well) with crushed ice.

2. Add the Liquors

Pour ½ oz vodka and ½ oz peach schnapps over the ice.

3. Add the Cream

Gently pour in 2 oz of heavy whipping cream. Don’t stir yet—let it layer naturally for a pretty effect.

4. Add Raspberry Liqueur

Top it off with a splash of raspberry liqueur, letting it swirl into the cream for a dreamy blend.

5. Whipped Cream & Garnish

Add a generous swirl of whipped cream on top and finish with a cherry.

6. Serve & Enjoy

Serve immediately with a spoon or straw. Give it a little stir if you like your flavors fully blended—or sip it in creamy layers!

Notes

• Want it extra fruity? Add a few muddled raspberries to the bottom of the glass before pouring the liquors.
• This cocktail is best enjoyed fresh—the cream doesn’t love to sit too long.
• For a touch of sparkle, you can also rim the glass with pink sugar before assembling.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this drink dairy-free?
Yes! Try using a dairy-free heavy cream alternative like coconut cream or almond milk creamer. Use dairy-free whipped topping to match.

Can I serve this as a shot?
Absolutely—just reduce the quantities and layer it in a tall shot glass. Garnish with whipped cream and a mini berry.

Is it very sweet?
It’s sweet but not overly sugary—the cream balances it out nicely. You can adjust the sweetness by reducing the raspberry liqueur or adding more cream.

Can I use flavored vodka?
Yes! Vanilla or whipped cream vodka works beautifully in this cocktail for an even more dessert-like finish.
