However it's a great cocktail and here's why. It's Quick and easy to make and perfect for any occasion.
This golden-hued cocktail with a frothy head that is the great for after dinner. Celebrating Christmas, New Years Eve or any special occasion!
Ingredients you'll need

- ice cubes
Creative variations
- A scoop of vanilla ice cream floating in the cocktail turns this into dessert or a grown-up sundae!
- I use a blender to make this cocktail, but you can use a cocktail shaker instead if you prefer, but you won't get the frothy top on the drink.
- For a Dairy-Free Golden Cadillac, use almond milk or coconut milk in place of the heavy cream.
- You can also use chocolate liqueur in place of the white creme de cacao.
- To make this cocktail even more chocolatey add a sprinkle of cocoa powder or fresh shaved chocolate to the top of this frothy drink.
