Cream and a touch of rich chocolate smooth scotch whisky and gin without smothering them. This may be a creamy drink but it remains 'serious' and far from...
Back in the late '70s I was enthralled by a couple of creamy cocktails, Mrs. Bailey's Bush (50/50 on the rocks) and a Dirty Mother (tequila, KahlĂșa and cream). Barbary Coast reminds me how good those were yet how much more subtle and sophisticated they could have been. Exceptional drink.
Perfect evening cocktail. Was not as sweet as I was expecting which is a big plus. Loved the layering of flavours. Definitely agree that the nutmeg is must.
Like eggnog's cooler, lighter cousin. The interplay of the gin with the other ingredients makes this cream drink eminently sippable and not at all desserty.
