Sweet Creamy

The Foxy Lady is a sweet, creamy cocktail combining amaretto, crème de cacao, and light cream, shaken and served in a cocktail glass. The almond sweetness of the amaretto and the chocolate character of the crème de cacao pair naturally, while the cream rounds the combination into a smooth, dessert-like drink. It is a low-ABV, approachable after-dinner option.

History & Origins

The Foxy Lady is a classic American dessert cocktail from the mid-to-late 20th century, belonging to the family of cream-liqueur drinks that became popular during the 1970s and 1980s. Its name references the 1967 Jimi Hendrix song of the same name, reflecting the era in which it was popularized. Its specific origin is disputed and unattributed.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: sweet almond from the amaretto, chocolate from the crème de cacao, and a milky, creamy scent. Palate: sweet and soft with an almond-chocolate richness and a smooth, creamy body from the light cream. Finish: gentle, sweet, and lightly chocolatey with a fading almond warmth.

Pro Tip

Shake vigorously with ice to chill the cream-based cocktail thoroughly before straining, and serve in a well-chilled glass to maintain its cold, silky texture.
