Hot Buttered Captain Cocktail
The use of butter in cocktails has evolved beyond novelty to become a recognised component in texture-driven drinks, particularly those served above room temperature. The hot buttered Captain cocktail reflects this shift, offering a structured example of how the dairy product can contribute richness without masking balance. Used as a functional element that enhances consistency, the drink’s identity is rooted in technique rather than complex layering.
