The Cocktail Project: Angel's Delight

Generally, any drink calling for cream as a primary ingredient is veering way off into girl-drink territory. But there's a rather poorly kept secret about so called "girl drinks", one that makes them very popular: they're fucking tasty.

Perhaps you don't like Kahlua and someone is hosting a Lebowski themed get-together, for which you need an appropriately creamy drink. Or, maybe you want to mix something a little different than a slurpee with booze, or some obscenely named shooter, for someone who's not into drinks with stronger spirits as their dominant flavor.

In such a case, this little number hits the spot, however I wouldn't use your best gin on this, as any character it has is going to be overpowered by the triple sec and cream.

If White Russians are, as my sister likes to say, "like drinking a candy bar", then this one is like drinking a creamsicle. Be careful though. They go down mighty easy, and a creamsicle hangover is not likely to be much fun.
