Whipping cream is a high-fat dairy cream (typically 30–36% fat) that can be whipped to incorporate air, creating a light, foamy texture. In drinks it contributes richness, body, and a dessert-like character, smoothing sharp alcohol edges and integrating flavors. It is a key element in flips, dessert cocktails, and Irish coffee–style serves. Cream is perishable and must be refrigerated, shaken or lightly whipped just before service.
Rich, milky, creamy, subtly sweet.
Used to create creamy layers, dessert cocktails, and flips; works well with coffee, chocolate, spices, and sweet liqueurs to produce indulgent, smooth drinks.
