From the Bartender

Shaking cream cocktails vigorously is essential - it aerates the cream slightly and fully integrates the fat with the spirits, producing a silkier, more cohesive texture than stirring. Freshly grated nutmeg releases volatile aromatics that pre-ground nutmeg cannot match, so grate it directly over the glass just before serving.
