Hush And Whisper knows what makes whipped vodka special, and we’re here to show you why this sweet treat stands out. We’ll also share some ideas and recipes to help you mix up your drinking game!
What Is Whipped Vodka?
If you’re a fan of smooth, easy-sipping cocktails with a hint of a confectionary taste, you’ve likely heard of whipped cream vodka. This flavored vodka has become a go-to for many, offering a unique twist to your standard vodka drinks. With its light and decadent taste, whipped vodka—often referred to as whipped cream vodka—blends the boldness of vodka with the soft sweetness of whipped cream, making it a versatile spirit for your next cocktail party or cozy night in.
There are two types of whipped vodka, the one is a delicious infusion where the vodka stays clear and you can mix it with anything you want, the other is a cream based vodka used in dessert cocktails.
Method 1: Making Whipped Vodka
Whipped vodka is not infused with whipped cream but created by adding whipped cream food flavoring concentrate to vodka. This is how most commercial brands achieve the sweet, creamy flavor while keeping the liquor clear. To replicate this at home, mix a few drops of whipped cream food flavoring concentrate with plain vodka. This method produces the classic whipped vodka flavor, perfect for cocktails or shots.
Method 2: Vodka-Infused Whipped Cream
This vodka-infused whipped cream adds a boozy twist to desserts like tiramisu, espresso cakes, or fresh strawberries.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 teaspoons vodka (37.5% alcohol)
For a more pronounced vodka flavor, you can increase the amount to suit your preference. If using higher-proof vodka, you may need less.
Instructions:
- Pour the heavy whipping cream into a mixing bowl.
- Add the sugar and vodka to the cream.
- Use a hand mixer to beat the cream until stiff peaks form (about 5 minutes). Be careful not to overbeat.
This fluffy, alcohol-infused whipped cream is a fun and delicious addition to your desserts or drinks.
