How to make Nuts and Berries

You’ll need a cocktail shaker for this one, but in a pinch you can simply stir the drink in a glass with ice.

  1. Measure – Add all three ingredients into a cocktail shaker that’s half filled with ice.
  2. Shake – Put the lid on and give it a brisk shake for about 5 seconds.
  3. Strain – Pour it through the strainer and into your glass of choice.

Substitutions

You can use another cream product like skim milk or regular milk, heavy cream or light cream, and even Bailey’s Irish Cream. These will give you a different consistency and change the flavor somewhat, but it’s still delicious.

Make it non-dairy – Use soy milk, almond or other nut milk, or oat milk instead of half and half.

How to serve it

  • Use a small 4-ounce glass without ice, or a 6-ounce glass with ice (on the rocks).
  • Pour it into a martini glass or champagne coupe.

PARTY TIP: Make a party pitcher to serve a crowd. Just use 2 cups of half and half, with 1/2 cup each of Frangelico and Chambord.
