Half-and-half

An equal mix of whole milk and heavy cream (around 12% fat), used to add moderate creaminess to cocktails without the full richness of pure cream. Half-and-half creates a smooth, lighter texture in White Russians, creamy cocktails, and coffee drinks where full cream would be too heavy.

Flavor Profile

Clean dairy nose with balanced cream and milk character. Smooth, medium-bodied palate lighter than cream but richer than milk. Silky, gentle finish that adds moderate richness to drinks.
