½ jigger Cointreau
1 jigger heavy cream
“Whew, this smells strong.”
“Does it?”
“Yeah. I can smell the velvet. And the hammer.”
“This is amazing.”
The Verdict: Amazing
From The Tasting Notes –
This. Was. Fantastic. Would be a fantastic after-dinner drink. It’s sweet, but not too sweet. Nothing is overpowering, though the Cointreau comes through the strongest. It packs a punch, but a delicious punch. And it almost screams for a brownie to go with it.
I love the glass!
Was looking for a nice creamy holiday drink for our Christmas party. This was yummy, it will be added to the menu! I used Costco brand XO cognac. Thanks!
I love this! My mom (married in 1977) dropped the name of this at dinner so I looked up the recipe and found your post. Hilarious!
