7 Milk & Whisky Cocktails that are Super Creamy

Whisky and creamy ingredients are a timeless combination. The smooth texture of scotch blends effortlessly with milk and cream in plenty of classic after-dinner cocktails. While non-dairy alternatives also bring that velvety finish with a lighter touch. 

Whether it’s a traditional whisky and milk serve or an indulgent ice cream dessert drink, you can let your imagination run wild when it comes to creating creamy cocktails. Here’s our favourites that showcase The Glenlivet’s signature style in a whole new way.

Scotch Milk Punch

A true classic, the Scotch Milk Punch blends The Glenlivet 12 Year Old with milk and powdered sugar for a silky, mellow serve. Our first-class malt has a distinct smoothness, with fruity, complex notes that make it a natural fit. While a dusting of nutmeg on top adds a warming spice.

If you’re exploring milk and whisky cocktails, this is the one to start with. It’s been around for centuries for a reason—simple, elegant and easy to mix.

Pistachio Paradise

Sweet pistachio ice cream and our creamy, single malt scotch make the Pistachio Paradise as smooth as it sounds. The Glenlivet Founder’s Reserve is our time-honoured whisky, with long, zesty notes that balance the cocktail’s nuttiness. 

The one’s a must for summer sipping or anytime you want to impress guests with your cocktail making skills. And for extra glamour, pay attention to the garnish. We love a crushed pistachio rim or dash of orange blossom.

Mudslide

For those who love sweet cocktails, the Whisky Mudslide is a must. With double cream, bourbon cream and a pour of The Glenlivet Founder’s Reserve, it doesn’t get much creamier than this.

Date syrup brings natural sweetness, with coffee liqueur bringing a rich, punchy flavour. It’s the kind of cocktail that blurs the line between a drink and a dessert, with whisky adding depth to every sip.

Scottish Spring Matcha

If a matcha latte is your usual order, then this recipe is one to save. Our matcha cocktail proves this combination works, perfect for any spring get together. 

Our single malt’s bright, citrusy notes cut through silky coconut cream, while the matcha adds an earthy complexity. Plus a touch of lime for freshness. Refreshing yet rich, this one’s is a game-changer for anyone looking to try whisky in a more unexpected way.

Whisky Hot Chocolate

Few things are as comforting as Whisky Hot Chocolate, especially when you introduce The Glenlivet Founder’s Reserve into the mix. Our ultra-smooth scotch melts into rich, creamy hot chocolate, creating a velvety, deeply satisfying drink.

This recipe is a favourite for chilly winter nights that need warming up. Whether with friends round the firepit or for a solo treat on the sofa. Make sure to finish your cocoa with extra cream and all your favourite toppings.

Coco Noche

Get beach ready with Coco Noche, a fun and fruity cocktail that’s all about those exotic flavours. Coconut cream and milk bring the creaminess, while The Glenlivet Caribbean Reserve enhances its tropical taste thanks to a rum cask finish.

A light dusting of allspice ties everything together for extra warmth. Perfect for summer sipping or soothing your craving for balmy days during the winter months.

Celebración

Celebración is our ultimate creamy whisky cocktail, inspired by traditional drinks found in Central America and Mexico. Rompope is the feature ingredient, an eggnog style drink that brings silky, sweetness to any cocktail.

Mix it with The Glenlivet Caribbean Reserve and cold brew for a serve that’s rich, spiced and fruity. A delicious twist on your classic iced coffee cocktail.
