The cream immediately sank and curdled, but I think that was user error in not knowing how to float cream... :)

After another strain and a stir I had a lovely bright pink drink that was rather tasty and creamy. It didn't blow me away, but it was definitely tasty.

It helps if the cream is lightly whipped/shaken to add some air. Hence, I've added "lightly whipped" to how-to above.

I will give that a whirl next time - thank you! (p.s. "lighty" - think you're missing an l!)
