Can I use regular caramel syrup instead of salted caramel?

Yes, regular caramel syrup works well, but the pinch of sea salt adds a nice contrast that enhances the drink’s flavor.

What is the difference between heavy cream and half-and-half in this recipe?

Heavy cream creates a richer, thicker texture, while half-and-half makes the cocktail lighter but still creamy. Choose based on your preference for richness.
