Pink Squirrel

This creamy cocktail with a pink color is made with a combination of crème de noyaux, white crème de cacao, and heavy cream. In order to prepare it, all ingredients should be shaken with ice, then strained into a chilled cocktail glass.

If desired, the cocktail can be garnished with mint leaves. It is believed that the first version of Pink Squirrel was prepared in the 1940s at a cocktail lounge in Wisconsin. Nowadays, it can be quite tricky to find crème de noyaux, so it is recommended to replace it with a combination of amaretto and grenadine when in doubt.
