2021 had some genuinely unexpected twists. Shawn and Camila broke up. Kim K and Pete Davidson started dating. Even Britney's conservatorship was officially terminated! But let's be real: of all the unforeseeable events we've witnessed this past year, Cardi B releasing a vodka-infused whipped cream (that's shelf-stable and 100% dairy-free) was NOT on my 2021 bingo card.

Whipshots are currently available in three flavors: vanilla, caramel, and mocha. And each contains (drum roll, please), a whopping 10% alcohol.
Naturally, the moment I got my hands on these bottles o' boozy goodness, I had to put 'em to the test. How exactly did I review Cardi's Whipshots at 10 a.m. on a literal work day? Well, I tasted each flavor solo, compared 'em to regular canned whipped cream...then made breakfast out of them. Fitting, right? (Please excuse any booze-induced typos.)

TEST #1: Trying Whipshots Solo
Out of the three distinct flavors, mocha was the clear winner.

TEST #2: Whipshots vs. Canned Whipped Cream

TEST #3: Whipshots As A Topping
According to the brand itself, the whipped cream "can be enjoyed on cocktails, desserts, lovers, or solo as a shot." Well, again, it's 10 a.m. for me, so the only way I could possibly justify filling my body with alcohol-infused whipped cream at the very start of my work day was via breakfast. A breakfast of champions, really.
For my first course, I used the mocha flavor to top my morning coffee...and it slapped.

To polish off my boozy cup of joe, I made straight-up waffles and topped them maple syrup, blueberries...and an excessive swirl of the caramel flavor. "Excessive" is the keyword here.

Overall, I'd give Cardi B's Whipshots a (very solid) 8/10. The only reason I knocked off a couple of points? I do wish all the flavors were equally delicious, and I also think they could be a touch less sweet — especially if they're meant as a topping for already-sweet cocktails. I mean, if I drank one of the cocktails below 👇 as shown, I think my body would go into literal shock.
