Cocktail Description

The White Cargo transforms the classic martini framework into a dessert-worthy indulgence that drinks like velvet.

This luxurious cocktail combines the botanical complexity of Beefeater gin with the rich creaminess of vanilla ice cream, while Chablis wine adds a subtle acidity and mineral notes that prevent the drink from becoming too sweet. When shaken vigorously, the ice cream creates a silky, frothy texture that coats the palate beautifully, while the nutmeg garnish contributes warm, aromatic spice that complements the vanilla. Perfect for after-dinner sipping or as an alternative to traditional dessert, this cocktail works wonderfully for special occasions and intimate gatherings where you want to impress without spending hours behind the bar. Though it requires proper shaking technique to achieve the ideal texture, even novice home bartenders can master it with minimal practice. The Vanilla Vortex pairs exceptionally well with fresh berries, light pastries, or white chocolate treats, creating a sophisticated end to any meal.
