Phantom’s Velvet Shadow

Description

Phantom’s Velvet Shadow works best when it is treated as more than a list of ingredients. The point is texture as much as flavour. Black vodka, dark crème de cacao and irish cream create a soft, rounded drink, but the best version still has enough spirit and aromatic detail to avoid becoming a milkshake. It should feel plush, not cloying.

A small garnish or spice note helps the finish, giving the richness somewhere to go after the first sip.
