I am not sure I will ever drink this. I had the alcohol, cream and ice in the glass shaker and I was stirring. Next a circle of glass pops out of the shaker followed by the alcohol, cream and ice. Its everywhere. So, five minutes later, instead of enjoying a creamy cocktail in an armchair I am on my hands and knees scrubbing. Now that's Aggravation!

Maybe it's just the Scotch and cream, but this reminds me of an Atholl Brose with just a little extra roastiness. (8 Jun 2023, 5:06a)
