Foxy Lady

Pro tips

• Chill your glass beforehand to keep the drink cold longer without over-diluting from ice.
• Use a 1:3 ratio of liqueurs to cream for the right balance; too little cream tastes too boozy, too much masks the flavors.
• Shake until the shaker is frosty on the outside—this ensures proper emulsification of the cream.
• Fresh heavy cream makes a visible difference in texture and mouthfeel compared to older cream.

Substitutions

• Dark crème de cacao → white crème de cacao (lighter chocolate flavor, slightly sweeter)
• Amaretto → Frangelico (hazelnut instead of almond; more nutty, less almond-forward)
• Heavy cream → half-and-half (thinner body, less rich; use same amount)

Equipment

cocktail shaker · jigger · bar spoon

Should the Foxy Lady be shaken or stirred?

Shake vigorously with ice to emulsify the cream and create a smooth, frothy texture. Strain into a glass over fresh ice or serve straight up.

Can I make this drink without heavy cream?

You can substitute with half-and-half or whole milk, though the drink will be less rich. Coconut cream works for a dairy-free option.

What glass should I use?

Serve in a coupe, martini glass, or rocks glass over ice, depending on your preference for temperature and presentation.

How do I prevent the cream from curdling?

Use fresh heavy cream and avoid extremely hot ingredients. Shake gently and serve immediately after mixing.
