Method

Vanilla Pudding Cocktail (Adult)

Prepare pudding base

In a medium mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup instant vanilla pudding mix with 1 cup cold whole milk. Whisk briskly for 1 minute until thickened slightly but still pourable. Let rest 1–2 minutes so it continues to set.

Mix cocktail

Add 2 tablespoons vodka, 1 tablespoon vanilla liqueur, and 2 tablespoons heavy cream to the pudding mixture. Whisk until smooth. If the mixture is too thick to shake, add up to 2 tablespoons iced cold milk to loosen to a milkshake-like consistency.

Shake with ice

Place 4 ice cubes into a cocktail shaker. Pour the pudding-cocktail mixture into the shaker. Secure lid and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until chilled and slightly frothy.

Serve

Strain into a chilled coupe or rocks glass. Top with 2 tablespoons whipped cream and lightly grate 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg or sprinkle cinnamon on top. Serve immediately.

Chocolate Pudding Cocktail (Adult)

Prepare pudding base

Whisk 1/2 cup instant chocolate pudding mix with 1 cup cold whole milk in a bowl for about 1 minute until it thickens slightly but remains pourable. Let sit 1–2 minutes.

Add spirits and cream

Stir in 2 tablespoons dark rum or chocolate liqueur and 1 tablespoon cooled espresso (or strong coffee). Add 2 tablespoons half-and-half or heavy cream and mix until smooth. If too thick, add a splash (up to 2 tablespoons) extra cold milk.

Shake with ice

Combine the pudding mixture and 4 ice cubes in a cocktail shaker. Shake vigorously 10–15 seconds until chilled and slightly frothy.

Serve

Pour into a chilled martini or old-fashioned glass. Garnish with a sprinkle of chocolate shavings or 1 teaspoon cocoa powder. Serve immediately.

Non-Alcoholic Vanilla Pudding Mocktail

Prepare pudding base

Combine 1/2 cup instant vanilla pudding mix with 1 cup cold whole milk in a bowl. Whisk for 1 minute until it begins to thicken but stays pourable. Allow to rest 1–2 minutes.

Flavor and thin

Stir in 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract and 2 tablespoons cream or half-and-half. If the mixture seems too thick for a drink, add up to 2 tablespoons iced cold milk to reach a milkshake-like consistency.

Shake with ice

Put 4 ice cubes into a cocktail shaker, add the pudding mixture, and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds to chill and aerate.

Serve

Strain into a chilled glass. Top with 2 tablespoons whipped cream and a light dusting of 1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg or cinnamon. Serve immediately.
