Tough Nut Cream is back! O'Donnell Moonshine's first cream liqueur variety went down a storm when it launched as an Advent Calendar exclusive back in 2023! It sold out in less than two months when it was released for general sale back in February this year, making it one of the most popular new releases in O'Donnell Moonshine history. Now back in stock, we anticipate this fan favourite and perfect Christmas treat will fly off the shelves again this time around!

Tough Nut Cream FAQs
What is Tough Nut Cream?
Tough Nut Cream is the first cream liqueur developed by O'Donnell Moonshine. A delicate balance of vanilla and hazelnut, that comes together to create a silky smooth and deliciously indulgent cream liqueur.
Comparable to other leading cream liqueurs, what really makes Tough Nut Cream stand out is the more complex flavour profile that comes courtesy of our best selling flavour Tough Nut. Hazelnut and vanilla are elevated with notes of caramel and nougat to create a rich and subtly sweet liqueur that works perfectly neat over ice, or as an addition to a whole range of cocktails and beverages.
What is the Alcohol Percentage of Tough Nut Cream?
Tough Nut Cream has an alcohol percentage of 17%. While this is slightly lower than our other Moonshine varieties, it is comparable to other cream liqueurs on the market such as Baileys and Amarula Cream (both of which also have a 17% Alcohol Volume).
At O'Donnell Moonshine, our main goal is always to create the best drinking experience possible with each of our Moonshines. With the slightly lower alcohol percentage, we were able to create a smooth and stable cream liqueur, with an incredible mouth feel and subtly complex flavour.
How Should I drink Tough Nut Cream?
To best appreciate the different flavour notes in Tough Nut Cream, our perfect serving suggestion is simple to drink it neat over ice.
For best results, we would recommend chilling your Tough Nut Cream in the fridge before serving.
However, from Mudslides to Baby Guinness shots, Tough Nut Cream also works perfectly in a whole range of delicious desert cocktails.

How Should I Store My Tough Nut Cream?
When sealed and stored in cool, dry conditions, our Tough Nut Cream has a two year expiration date. Once opened, we would recommend consuming Tough Nut Cream within 6 - 12 months. You do not NEED to refrigerate Tough Nut Cream once opened, however this will prolong it's shelf life.
Is Tough Nut Cream Suitable for Vegans?
No. As a cream liqueur, Tough Nut Cream contains milk and byproducts thereof, and is therefore not suitable for vegans or people with a dairy allergy. If however, you wish to create your own dairy free version at home check out our Vegan Tough Nut Cream Recipe.
The season of cream liqueurs is well and truly upon us, whichever you choose this year, and however you drink it, drink responsibly and enjoy!
