Simple SyrupWorks, with a noticeable change

Heavy Cream1.0 oz

Light CreamWorks, but changes the drink

How much to use: Use the same amount; the drink may be less full-bodied.
What changes: Light cream can replace heavy cream when a lighter texture is acceptable.

Cognacto taste

BrandyWorks, with a noticeable change

How much to use: Use the same amount; taste before changing citrus or sweetener.
What changes: Another grape brandy can replace Cognac when exact Cognac character is not essential; expect more variation by style and producer.
