coco chanel cocktail

Recently I drove to Saumer - a beautiful town on the banks of the Loire - for a meal in a lively little square where I was seduced into having a Coco Chanel Cocktail.  Coco was apparently born in Saumer.  It was however one of the most disappointing cocktails of my life,  I can't specifically remember what it consisted of apart from the fact that it tasted very much like watery flat orangeade.  I thought this does not befit Coco at ALL, this thing.  Anyway... here is a recipe I found that sounds a little more more decadent maybe than watery orange juice and seems to be the one most attributed to Coco! 
1 oz kahlua

1 oz double cream

1 oz gin

Mix all ingredients in with ice in a cocktail shaker and strain into a cocktail glass.  It sounds like it might taste catastrophic,  and as I surveyed the ingredients on the table I said to a friend 'this could be terrible, what's the worst that can happen?'.  He said helpfully ' that we all become violently ill?'.  But I can assure you, in addition to being extremely healthy, it is triumphantly glorious. Hiccup. Salute!
