"Inspired by royalty, I created this silky drink to celebrate the beautiful, independent and sophisticated women of today. It is a truly elegant experience for the modern day queen and her court of friends."
– Pharrell Williams


Listen to a song by Pharrell Williams and try to put it into only one category. Impossible, considering the producer and performer mixes sounds and genres effortlessly, right? So it's no surprise that when he created a liqueur, he also made sure it would cross boundaries. Available in strawberry or peach, this first of its kind liqueur (12.5 ABV) can be served on the rocks, mixed for cocktails or deliciously baked into cupcakes, pastries and more. The choices are endless...and all delicious.
Qream: Strawberry Creme
The strawberry flavor is rosy pink, opalescent in appearance and tempts the taste buds with a lightly decadent mélange of sweet berries. The aroma opens up like melted strawberry ice cream on a hot summer day. The initial taste is of ripe, sweet strawberry and fresh cream, followed by light tropical notes, a silky texture and a touch of warmth from the premium vodka, resulting in a clean full bodied finish, with a whisper of vanilla.

Qream: Peach Creme
The peach flavor is frosty soft in appearance and tempts the taste buds with a lightly decadent burst of fresh ripe peaches. The bouquet is fruit forward with subtle vanilla-cream notes and luscious fruit. The initial taste is delicately creamy, with peachy sweet top-notes balanced by exotic tropical fruit nectar, a silky cream texture and the brightness of premium vodka spirit, resulting in a clean, sublimely juicy cream finish.

Makes 2 dozen miniature puffs
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine water, butter and salt in a large pot and bring to a boil. Remove boiling mixture from the heat and add the flour, stirring vigorously with a wooden spoon until flour is combined and a ball of paste-like dough forms. Place the pot back on the heat and cook over a medium flame, stirring constantly until the paste looks shiny and no longer sticks to the pot (about 2 minutes).
- Transfer the paste to a large bowl and beat to release some steam. Mix in one egg at a time until the paste resembles a smooth mayonnaise texture. (If using an electric mixer, use the paddle attachment and mix on low speed until eggs are combined.) Cover the paste with plastic wrap and cool in refrigerator for at least half hour before piping.
- Once cooled, transfer the paste into a pastry bag with a ¾ inch tip. Pipe ½ inch wide balls of paste onto the baking sheet, spacing them at least 1 inch apart. If pointy tips form, flatten the tips of each ball with a dab of milk or water.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the top shelf of oven and bake for 30-40 minutes until miniature puffs form and are slightly browned. Lower the oven to 325 degrees and continue to bake for an additional 20 minutes.
- Allow puffs to fully cool before filling. Once cooled, the puffs can be frozen in a plastic bag or container for 1 week. Reheat frozen puffs in a 325 degree oven for 15 minutes before filling.

Yvette Ho
As the owner of Manhattan bakery Panade, Yvette Ho spends her day whipping up complicated desserts (this summer: ginger cream puffs, not to mention cakes and treats starring Qream™). But when she turns her focus to other things, the former schoolteacher has more simple tastes (even her favorite Qream flavor, peach, wins out because of it's "subtlety"). Here, a few of the pastry chef's favorite things.
What made you become a pastry chef?
I was a teacher for 10 years, even though it was meant to be my safety net. Then one day I found a space for rent on Craigslist – I'd always loved baking and just on a fluke went to look at it. The timing felt right and I dove into it. And now I get to do what I've always liked as a hobby as my life.
Obvious question, but do you have a sweet tooth?
If you ask my dentist, yes. I have an awful sweet tooth, my whole family does. I was even always in charge of desserts for family gatherings.
What's your favorite dessert?
I experiment a lot in what I make for the shop, but nothing beats something simple like a good brownie.
Perfect girls' night out?
Starting off with a great meal, some nice wine, a small, quiet place with a good vibe and good music in the background—with a good dessert menu, of course. Those nights are few and far between now, because I'm a workaholic. But we still have them.
Favorite city to shop in?
Hong Kong. It's recreation there, so shops are open to midnight or 1am. In New York people sit in bars or clubs, but in Hong Kong, they are shopping throughout the night.
Favorite way to treat yourself?
A massage and a day at the spa.
Best vacation ever?
No city beats New York, but shortly after college I spent a month traveling around Spain. It's such a eating and food culture and a month is the perfect amount of time to get to know a place.
Favorite song to party to?
I'm a huge reggae fan. Especially anything Sean Paul.
Role models?
Hmmm, I don't think I have one role model. I keep my friends and family close and find at least one admirable quality in each of them.
Your idea of success?
I was a good speller in school, but the one word that always gave me difficulty was "success." Success is when you've made some sort of impact or connection, no matter how small, in someone else's life. Success is when you've worked your tail off for something you believe in, whether it's washing windows or running a Fortune 500 company.

Press Release
A UNIQUE DRINK FOR WOMEN WHO WANT TO LIVE DELICIOUSLY
QREAM WITH A Q™, Hitting Shelves in July in Two Delectable Flavors
New York, NY – July 14, 2011 - Diageo plc (NYSE: DEO), the worldʼs leading premium spirits, wine and beer company, today announced the launch of QREAM WITH A Q™, an ultra-premium cream liqueur. "Qream" was conceived and developed in collaboration with Diageo, by Grammy Award-winning musician, cultural ambassador and style visionary, Pharrell Williams. Williams was instrumental in the development of the cream liqueur – from the taste and bottle design to the marketing and advertising.
The innovative alliance will focus on an ethos encouraging woman to "live deliciously," inviting them to treat themselves royally. With Qream, every detail was crafted to celebrate women - from the elegant design of the bottle, inspired by royalty, to the delicious flavor and silky lightness of the liquid, to how the brand will be marketed.
"Qream was created for contemporary women who work hard and want to relax with friends at the end of the day," says Williams. "I want them to reward themselves "deliciously." Williams added, "Women make up half the population and Qream is about celebrating that power. To work with Diageo in bringing something original like Qream and the notion of delicious living to market has been a thrill".
The launch of Qream will include an integrated marketing campaign, developed with Pharrell that will live across advertising, public relations, strategic alliances and nationwide events, including programs focused on personal responsibility and responsible decision making when it comes to drinking. Building on his proven track record in music and fashion, the alliance aims to tap into Pharrell's unique perspective.
"Williamsʼ ability to interpret and deliver memorable experiences has the potential to allow Qream to become synonymous with women celebrating life with style, class and quality." says Anna MacDonald, Director of Liqueurs Marketing at Diageo. "We expect Pharrell Williamsʼ unique perspective, coupled with his alliance with Diageo, will help Qream set a new standard as the beverage women choose to honor themselves and their accomplishments."
The beverage itself comes in two varieties, Strawberry Crème and Peach Crème, evoking the flavor of freshly picked strawberries and ripe vine peaches, combined with natural cream and vanilla bean essences to create a light, silky, fruity flavor profile.
