Sweet and dessert-like, the Foxy Lady combines amaretto, crème de cacao, and light cream, shaken with ice and strained into a cocktail glass. The almond note of the amaretto and the chocolate of the crème de cacao pair naturally, and the cream draws them together into a smooth, rounded whole. Low in alcohol at roughly 7% ABV, it functions as an approachable after-dinner drink, its sweetness tempered only by the dilution of the cream and the melting ice.

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.

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.
