Golden Cadillac Drink Recipe

I’ve gotta say, I mixed up 1 oz of Galliano, 1 oz of white creme de cacao, and 1 oz of heavy cream with a bunch of ice and after shaking it real hard for about 15 seconds, my chilled glass was filled with this crazy smooth and creamy cocktail that instantly took my chill vibes to the next level.

I think this Golden Cadillac drink is a balanced mix that offers a decent calorie count per serving. I like how the combination of a herbal liqueur, a sweet cocoa cream and rich heavy cream, chilled perfectly with ice cubes, creates a smooth drink that’s both indulgent and moderately nutritious.

Golden Cadillac Drink Recipe Substitutions and Variations

• For Galliano, try Licor 43 if its available cause it gives off similar vanilla and herbal flavors
• If you cant get white creme de cacao, you can use dark creme de cacao but use a bit less so it dosnt overpower the drink
• Instead of heavy cream you can use half and half or even coconut cream for a twist
• If ice cubes arent on hand, crushed ice works pretty well too

Pro Tips

1. Make sure you chill your glass way ahead of time, like put it in the freezer or fill it with ice water for a few minutes. It really good for keeping the drink nice and cold when you pour it in later.

2. Don’t be shy with the ice in your shaker. Use plenty of ice cubes so that when you shake it all up, the mixture gets super frothy and the flavors mix better. It also makes the drink extra refreshing.

3. Shake the ingredients like you mean it for about 15 seconds. I know it may seem a bit much, but trust me, it helps mix up that heavy cream and the liqueurs really well, giving you a perfect, smooth texture each time.

4. When you’re straining the drink into your chilled glass, be sure to leave most of the ice behind. You want your cocktail to be creamy and not watered down from all that extra melt. Enjoy and share it with a friend if youre feeling generous!
