Menage-a-trois sits firmly in the dessert-cocktail camp: a vodka-spiked, ice-cream-forward treat that drinks more like an adult milkshake than a traditional mixed drink. You won’t find a widely agreed origin story attached to it, but its style fits the modern wave of playful, indulgent serves that lean on familiar sweet flavours and a simple spirit base. Served in a whisky glass, it’s compact, rich, and unapologetically decadent.

On the palate, vodka keeps things clean and lets the flavours do the talking, adding lift without bringing its own distractions. Strawberry brings bright, juicy fruitiness that cuts through the heavier elements, while coconut cream adds a lush, tropical roundness. A scoop of chocolate ice cream ties it all together with deep cocoa sweetness, turning the whole drink into a creamy, chocolate-and-berry blend with a soft coconut finish.

You’ll enjoy this most as an after-dinner pour, a date-night dessert alternative, or whenever you want something sweet without committing to a full pudding. It suits anyone who loves creamy cocktails, chocolate-forward treats, and fruit-and-cream combinations, and it’s especially satisfying when you’re in the mood for something fun rather than fussy.
