How to make it
Step 1: Chill your glass
- Place your coupe glass in the freezer for 5 minutes, or fill it with ice water while you prepare the drink to ensure it is icy cold.
Step 2: Shake the cocktail
- Pour the brandy, white crème de cacao, and heavy cream into a cocktail shaker.
- Fill the shaker completely with ice cubes.
- Seal the shaker and shake hard and fast for about 12 to 15 seconds. This chills the liquid and whips the cream into a rich, velvety texture.
Step 3: Strain and serve
- If you chilled your glass with ice water, empty it now.
- Double strain the mixture through a fine-mesh tea strainer into your chilled coupe glass to remove any small ice shards and maintain a perfectly smooth pour.
Garnish
Grate a light dusting of fresh nutmeg directly over the top of the drink right before serving.
Make it alcohol-free
Swap the brandy for a non-alcoholic dark spirit alternative, and replace the crème de cacao with a premium non-alcoholic chocolate syrup or chocolate-flavored water-based cordial.
