Nose: Bright aromas of almond extract and maraschino cherries. Subtle notes of cocoa powder and vanilla bean mingle with a hint of stone fruit pits.

Palate: Smooth and creamy texture. Initial burst of sweet almond flavor, followed by rich milk chocolate. Undertones of cherry cordial and a whisper of apricot. The cacao brings a balancing bitterness to the sweetness.

Finish: Medium length with lingering notes of marzipan and dark chocolate. A slight warming sensation from the alcohol, with a pleasant nutty aftertaste reminiscent of amaretto cookies.

The Pink Squirrel cocktail combines Tempus Fugit Crème de Noyaux and Giffard Crème de Cacao with heavy cream, creating a velvety, nutty-chocolate delight. What's fascinating about this drink is the Crème de Noyaux, which gets its distinctive flavor and pink hue from apricot kernels, giving the cocktail a subtle almond-like taste without using actual almonds.

  • The Pink Squirrel cocktail owes its distinctive hue to Crème de Noyaux, a liqueur made from apricot kernels, which contain trace amounts of cyanide. Don't worry though – the amount used is perfectly safe and adds a unique almond-like flavor!
  • Despite its playful name, the Pink Squirrel has a surprisingly sophisticated history. It was invented in the 1940s at Bryant's Cocktail Lounge in Milwaukee, Wisconsin – a speakeasy-turned-legitimate bar that's still open today and considered a national historic site.
  • While most cream-based cocktails use heavy cream, the Pink Squirrel traditionally calls for ice cream instead. This frozen twist makes it both a cocktail and a boozy dessert, perfect for those who can't decide between an after-dinner drink or a sweet treat.

      womderful flavor mix

      I ordered this wanting to go from a brandy alexander/alexander to a pink squirrel with no idea what to expect, even the youtube videos I saw making it don't talk about the taste much at all. The flavor is a bit of a creamy chocolatey drink with just the right hint of cherry to accent without overpowering.
