The Impatient Virgin is a cocktail that truly indulges the dessert lover’s palette with a velvety mix of vodka, cream, Frangelico, and Creme De Cacao, presenting a luxurious texture that’s both rich and warmly satisfying. The subtle alcoholic bite of vodka perfectly tempers the luscious sweetness of hazelnut and chocolate, creating a harmoniously decadent experience that’s akin to drinking a boozy, melted truffle.
