Whip Shots Vanilla 200ML

Whip Shots Vanilla 200ML is a vodka-infused whipped cream delivered in a 200ml aerosol can at 10% ABV (20 proof). This shelf-stable, dairy-free creation earned Best of Class Platinum, Consumers' Choice, and Innovation awards at the 2023 SIP Awards, establishing it as the leading spirit-infused whipped cream on the market.

Quick Facts: ABV: 10% (20 proof)  |  Origin: Santa Monica, CA / Michigan, USA  |  Vodka-Infused Whipped Cream  |  Producer: Starco Brands / Temperance Distilling

Production & Heritage

Whip Shots launched as a collaboration between Starco Brands, headquartered in Santa Monica, California, and Grammy-winning artist Cardi B. The spirits infrastructure relies on Temperance Distilling in Michigan, where ultra-premium vodka is produced and then blended with natural vanilla flavoring. The result is a shelf-stable aerosol whipped cream that requires no refrigeration — a significant departure from traditional dairy-based whipped toppings — and is classified as 100% dairy-free, though it does contain caseinate, a milk-derived protein.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Fresh vanilla leads immediately, followed by a light sweetness reminiscent of marshmallow and a subtle undercurrent of clean vodka. The overall impression is dessert-forward and inviting.

Taste: The initial hit is rich, velvety whipped cream with pronounced vanilla sweetness. At mid-palate, the vodka asserts itself more clearly than expected for a 10% ABV product, lending a noticeable alcohol warmth that cuts through the sugar. The texture is sticky and dense, closer to a marshmallow cream than a standard aerosol whipped topping.

Finish: Short to medium in length, with lingering vanilla sweetness and a mild vodka bite on the back of the tongue. The creamy coating fades into a clean, slightly warming close.

How to Drink Whip Shots Vanilla

The most immediate serve is sprayed directly from the can onto cocktails, desserts, or hot beverages as a boozy topping. It also works as a stand-alone shot dispensed straight into the mouth for a quick, festive hit of spiked cream.

• Espresso Martini: A crown of Whip Shots Vanilla adds textural contrast and amplifies the coffee-meets-cream dynamic without diluting the drink.
• Hot Chocolate: The vanilla and vodka complement rich cocoa, creating an adults-only version of the classic winter warmer.
• Mudslide: Layer it on top to reinforce the cocktail's existing cream and vanilla notes while adding visual appeal.

Best For

Why Whip Shots Vanilla?

Whip Shots Vanilla stands apart because it essentially created and now defines the vodka-infused whipped cream category. Its shelf-stable, dairy-free formula solves the practical problem of perishability that limits traditional whipped creams, while the 10% ABV delivers genuine alcohol presence rather than a token trace. The product's competitive pedigree — including a Double Gold at the 2022 SIP Awards and a Gold at the Los Angeles International Spirits Competition — confirms that it performs on flavor, not just novelty. For anyone looking for a functional, award-winning way to add spiked cream to drinks and desserts, this is the benchmark product in the space.
