Milk Cocktail Ingredient
DairyMilk is used in cocktails to add creaminess, smooth texture, and a subtle richness that balances stronger flavors. It’s often combined with spirits like whiskey, rum, or liqueurs to create velvety drinks like the White Russian or the Brandy Alexander. Milk can also help mellow out the sharpness of citrus or bitters, making drinks more approachable. Additionally, it’s used in frothy, shaken cocktails, where it contributes to a light, airy texture, as seen in drinks like the Ramos Gin Fizz.
