text AGNES PEILLET everybody’s cream This year during Nairobi Restaurant week, several participating restaurants will be offering complimentary cocktails with their menu. Choose from the decadent Magnum Cream Liqueur Martini, or have it clean, on the rocks. In the world of whisky cream liqueurs, picking out a bottle can be a bit daunting. The list of available choices is long, the list of flavours endless. The bottles all look the same, the labels are kind of similar. And while choice and diversity is a good thing, unless you are a connoisseur choosing can be a bit of a hassle. That’s why the guys at Magnum Cream Liqueur decided to wrap their stuff in a peculiar looking bottle. This superior whisky cream liqueur made with award-winning single malt Scotch whisky comes in a stainless steel, milk-churn looking bottle. The liqueur which was launched here in Kenya a little over a year ago is not only unique from the outside. It has a balanced, lingering and sophisticated taste that any adventurous cream liqueur drinker willing to investigate and make a stand will appreciate. Next time you are browsing the shelves of a Chandarana or Uchumi liquor section, don’t bother looking for the funky and memorable quick drinks, instead pick up a chilled flask of Magnum Cream Liqueur—it will ‘moo’ you. Best served chilled, over ice or if you dare, over ice cream or in your coffee-with-a-kick. Magnum Martini A classy little indulgence ideal for the sweet-tooth. Serves 1 Ingredients: Instructions: Two shots Magnum Cream Liqueur One shot Cruz Vodka 15 ml espresso 15 ml chocolate syrup Add all the ingredients to a cocktail shaker filled with ice and shake well.
