While turning a summer drink like the daiquiri into what is essentially a rum hot toddy seems like a bibulous fool’s errand, this drink is something of a nonsensical triumph. And it is one hell of a holiday party trick.

Editor's Note

Angostura Whipped Cream:
16 dashes Angostura bitters
1 cup cream

In a chilled metal bowl, combine the ingredients and whip until stiff, about 2 minutes. Alternatively, add all ingredients to a cocktail shaker and shake vigorously. Adding the coil from a Hawthorne strainer or a protein shaker ball helps speed up the process.
