Method
Cocktail
- 1
Prepare and combine
Chill a coupe or martini glass by filling it with ice water while you mix the drink. Add vodka, white crème de cacao, light cream, fresh lemon juice, and simple syrup to a cocktail shaker.

Add ice and shake
Fill the shaker with 6-8 medium ice cubes. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds, until the exterior of the shaker is well chilled and you see a frosty film; this both chills and aerates the cream, producing a silky texture.

Strain and serve
Dump the ice water from the chilled glass. Double-strain the cocktail into the chilled coupe or martini glass using a Hawthorne and fine mesh strainer to remove tiny ice shards and any lemon pulp. Aim for a smooth, creamy pour.
Garnish & Finish
- 4
Express a lemon twist over the surface of the drink to release oils, then rim the glass with the twist and drop it in as garnish, or float a lemon wheel on the surface. If desired, grate a very light dusting (about 1/8 tsp) of nutmeg or a few white chocolate shavings over the top for aroma and an elegant finish.
