Quick Tricks That Save Your Time

Everything Else You Wondered About
- Can I use powdered sugar instead? Nah, powdered sugar can mess up the texture and won't dissolve right in this one.
- Whats the quick release mean here? Quick release is usually for pressure cooking, but for this cocktail, it's about the fast blend of ingredients and chillin fast after mixing.
- Do I really need whole milk and heavy cream? Whole milk and heavy cream give the best texture and flavor balance you want. Skim milk or half and half might work but wont be as rich.
