u/d on the Adult Chocolate Milk

Right before Christmas I posted about Adult Chocolate Milk and the whipped cream with alcohol. I said I would update after I tried them.

Update: Didn't like either. :( Boo. 

First of all, the ACM didn't taste like chocolate milk - at all. The guy at the liquor store said it tastes just like chocolate milk, so either he's a liar or had a very sad childhood. Secondly, the alcohol infused whipped cream was just a notch above "yuck" for me. I don't like my alcohol to taste like alcohol, and to me these both tasted like straight alcohol.

We left our bottle of ACM at my IL's and my FIL actually discovered that if you mix the ACM 50/50 with plain milk then it tastes good. I tried that and it actually does taste WAY better that way. It's almost like that's what you're suppose to do with it. The ACM is also very thick, and mixing it with milk makes it like chocolate milk consistency.

So my foray into fun alcoholic beverages was a big fat fail. Oh well.

Re: u/d on the Adult Chocolate Milk

  • That stinks that you didn't like either! It sounds like the ACM is promising if mixed with regular milk though. What flavor of the whipped cream did you try?  Thanks for the update!

    I got the vanilla flavor.

    I got the vanilla flavor. 

    I wonder if the fruity flavors would cover up the alcohol taste more and taste better?  I don't want to let go of the idea of tasty, alcohol-infused whipped cream, lol!

    I haven't seen fruit flavored whipped cream? Or are you talking about fruity drinks? The kind of got only has vanilla, chocolate & caramel flavors. Also, this isn't really whipped cream. I don't know what it is, I'll have to read the ingredients, but on the canister it specifically says "do not refrigerate, even after opening."

  • as I posted before, i tried the chocolate whipped cream. And it was definitely strong. It wasn't bad though. I can see how you wouldn't like it for the vanilla.
  • Sarah - is this what you tried? http://tinyurl.com/27gfxpm

    I just ask because I thought that was delicious... but maybe you're talking about something different?

    No. What I tried was actually whipped cream with alcohol in it. I can't find the brand I bought online, otherwise I would show you.

  • my brother had the caramel flavor whipped cream at his house on christmas so i tried it. It did taste like alcohol, but it wasnt TOO bad...it still tasted a little like caramel as well. I just tried a little taste but im not sure how much i would of actually been able to have!
  • Aw, what a bummer

    Nope, I meant fruit flavored whipped cream. I think I saw it on this link that Alison posted in the other thread: http://www.foxnews.com/health/2010/11/29/whip-alcohol-laced-whipped-cream-raising-concerns/

     Was it Whipped Lightning?

    This makes me think that it might be good in coffee? or hot chocolate? Like you would do with Bailey's.  Hmmm....I'll have to keep my eyes open for that around here.

    No, I looked at the bottle I have and it appears to be called Cream.
