Cocktails with White Crème de Cacao

White crème de cacao is a clear, sweet chocolate liqueur made from cocoa beans, the colorless counterpart to brown crème de cacao.

ABV20–25%

How it's used

Use it where the chocolate should not change the color of the drink: a Grasshopper stays green and a Golden Cadillac stays gold.

Substitutes for White Crème de Cacao

Brown crème de cacao

Tastes the same and swaps straight in. It turns the drink brown, which shows in anything meant to look pale.

Chocolate cream liqueur

Brings the cocoa with dairy and body. The drink turns thicker and cloudy, and it curdles with citrus.

Chocolate syrup

Gives cocoa and sugar but no strength, and it colors the drink too.

Chocolate liquor

This unsweetened ground cocoa mass has no alcohol and will not dissolve in a cold drink. It is no substitute.

On the label

“crème de”
Nothing to do with cream. EU rules require at least 250 g of sugar per liter for anything sold as crème de. That sugar, not dairy, gives the syrupy weight.
white vs brown
"White" means clear, not creamy or milky.

Storage

Cocoa flavor is stable and there is no fruit to lose, so an open bottle holds up for years. The one thing to watch is the sugar, which can crystallize at the bottom in a cold store. Gentle warmth and a shake put it back into solution.
