Description
This cocktail has a smooth, silky mouthfeel with floral and tropical notes dancing over a creamy base. The lemon adds brightness, while the cream of coconut and elderflower bring a sweet, floral body. The optional butterfly pea flower adds a visual wow-factor as it changes color with the citrus. A dreamy drink that looks as good as it tastes.
Tips
Chill your glass beforehand for extra smooth sipping.
Use clear ice for the best visual presentation.
You can prep the creamy part (cream + cream of coconut) in advance and store it cold.
If you prefer a lighter version, use oat milk instead of heavy cream.
Shake extra hard to get that creamy froth on top.
Variations
Dreamy Blue Version: Use blue curaçao instead of elderflower for a vibrant blue twist.
Herbal Twist: Add a small sprig of lavender or rosemary to the shaker for herbal undertones.
Non-alcoholic: Substitute vodka and liqueur with coconut water and a splash of elderflower syrup.
Spiced Cloud: Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg on top of the whipped cream for a cozy version.
Correction
If it turns out too tart, reduce the lemon or add a little honey syrup.
Too thick? Use less cream or switch to oat/almond milk.
Not sweet enough? Add a dash of simple syrup or more coconut cream.
Enjoy
Float away in the dreamy haze of the Cloud Rem Cocktail. Sip slow, close your eyes, and let the gentle flavors and creamy textures carry you off to your own cloud nine.
