Rating

3.89 / 5
The Bourbon Cream is a luscious and creamy cocktail that offers a delightful merge of rich flavors. As the name suggests, this drink is anchored by the warmth of bourbon, which provides a deep, oaky foundation. Paired with the sweet and spicy RumChata, the cocktail acquires a delicious cinnamon twist that complements the bourbon's complexity. The addition of half and half adds a velvety texture, creating a luxurious sipping experience. Typically served in a lowball glass, the Bourbon Cream exudes a comforting and indulgent character, making it a perfect choice for those who enjoy their spirits smooth and their cocktails with a dessert-like quality.
