Bar Notes

Batchability 2/5 (cream separates without constant agitation, requires fresh pour). Throughput Steady (standard shake, no egg complication). Survivability 2/5 (cream-based, breaks down in heat quickly). Rich, dessert-like, crowd-pleasing. Distinct from Flip (egg-based) and Coffee Cream (coffee-forward).
