The Sugarplum Cream Sip is a festive, creamy beverage combining the smoothness of milk and heavy cream with the fruity essence of plum juice. Enhanced with warm spices and a sweet touch of honey, this drink is perfect for holiday gatherings, served cold with whipped cream and delicate garnishes for a magical winter treat.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Drink:

  • 1 cup chilled milk (or almond milk for a lighter version)
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • ¼ cup plum juice or puree
  • 1 tbsp honey or simple syrup
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch cinnamon
  • 1 pinch nutmeg

For the Topping:

  • Whipped cream
  • Crushed freeze-dried plums or pink sugar crystals
  • A sprinkle of edible glitter (optional, for a festive touch)

Instructions

  1. Make the Base: In a shaker or blender, combine milk, heavy cream, plum juice, honey, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Shake or blend the mixture until it is smooth and frothy, ensuring all ingredients are fully incorporated.
  2. Assemble the Drink: Pour the creamy blend into a chilled glass filled with ice to keep the drink refreshingly cool and to enhance the texture.
  3. Top with Whipped Cream: Add a generous swirl of whipped cream on top of the drink, providing a luscious contrast to the fruity base.
  4. Garnish: Sprinkle crushed freeze-dried plums or pink sugar crystals over the whipped cream for a textural and visual appeal. Optionally, add a touch of edible glitter to create a festive sparkle perfect for holiday celebrations.
  5. Serve & Sip: Serve immediately to enjoy the smooth, creamy, and subtly fruity flavor at its freshest. This drink can also be gently warmed before assembling for a cozy winter alternative.

Notes

  • Use almond milk instead of regular milk for a lighter, dairy-free version.
  • Adjust sweetness by substituting honey with simple syrup or to taste.
  • The drink can be served cold or gently warmed for a comforting winter variation.
  • Edible glitter is optional and intended for decorative festive presentation.
  • Freeze-dried plums add natural tartness and crunch; pink sugar crystals add color and sweetness.
