Foxy Lady
A velvety and indulgent dessert cocktail that combines the nutty richness of Amaretto with the sweet allure of Creme de Cacao, smoothed out by a generous pour of light cream.
What it tastes like
The aroma is dominated by almond and cocoa. It tastes of sweet marzipan and milk chocolate. The high proportion of cream creates a thick, velvety mouthfeel. It finishes with a short, sugary nuttiness.
