What Alcohol does Cream Soda go with?

Cream Soda can be combined with a number of alcoholic beverages. Cream soda goes great in whiskey. Cinnamon whiskey is a popular option for cream soda. Vodka is also a delicious option to mix the cream soda in. Vanilla vodka, whipped cream vodka, and caramel apple vodka, are delicious with cream soda. Rum is also a good alcohol to pair with cream soda (just make sure the rum isn’t too sweet.)

Does Heavy Cream curdle in Cocktails?

Heavy Cream can curdle in cocktails. This is usually the case with cocktails that have acidic ingredients (lemon juice, lime juice etc.) Acidic juices will cause the proteins in the cream to begin to clump together and curdle. This drink does not contain any acidic ingredients and the heavy cream will not curdle in it. Be careful when adding in extra ingredients. Always research first to see if it will complement the cream without causing it to curdle.

We slightly disagree on the proper amount of the whisky. I was only going to add 1/2 oz. of the caramel whiskey. Hubby doubled it and stands by it.
