Can I omit the heavy cream in a Buttered Toffee Cocktail?
Yes, you can substitute the heavy cream for lighter half and half, or omit it completely for a very light drink. Just keep in mind the sweetness and alcohol flavor of the drink will become more noticeable without the creamy element.
Garnish ideas for the Buttered Toffee Cocktail
We kept it simple with a caramel square because this is such a sweet, filling drink on its own. However, if you are looking to up the decadency or visual impact of this drink we are sharing our favorite ideas for garnishes you could try below.
- Rim the glass with sugar and toffee crumbles, or salt for a salty and sweet dance
- Drizzle with caramel sauce
- Serve with a Piroline creme filled cookie
- Top with whipped cream and salted butterscotch or Heath candy crumbles
- Serve over coffee ice cubes to intensify the coffee element and prevent the drink from becoming watered down
