Pink Squirrel

A plush, dessert-leaning cream cocktail in the lineage of the Grasshopper and Brandy Alexander, shaken to a pale-pink froth. Crème de noyaux lends a rosy hue and a chocolate-covered-almond nuttiness, rounded by white crème de cacao and heavy cream. It is thought to have emerged from Bryant's Cocktail Lounge in 1940s Milwaukee — said to have begun life with ice cream — and remains a fixture of Wisconsin supper-club menus.
