White Cargo (cocktail)

The White Cargo is an ice cream cocktail made with vanilla ice cream and gin.[1] Some versions include maraschino liquor, garnished with freshly grated nutmeg.[2] Its creation is credited to Harry Craddock of The Savoy Hotel in a three ingredient version that includes a splash of dry white wine.[3] Modern versions have added Chardonnay.[4]
