As is the case with milk, cream will curdle whenever it comes into contact with a weak acid. Milk and cream contain casein which coagulates when mixed with weak acids such as lemon, tonic water or lime cordial. While this outcome is undesirable in most situations, some cocktails specifically encourage coagulation. Casein (from Latin caseus cheese) is the most predominant phosphoprotein found in milk and cheese. ...

A Cement Mixer is an alcoholic drink usually made with lemon or lime juice and Baileys Irish Cream though acidic alcohols can replace the juice. A shot of juice is taken first and held in the cheek, followed by a shot of Baileys, with the two mixed in the mouth. The acidity of the juice curdles the Irish cream and the mixture is swallowed.

Baileys Coffee is made using a measure of Baileys in a cup of coffee and then topped off with cream.
