Ingredients
These ingredients come together to form a powerhouse of flavor:
-
🥃 2 oz Baileys Irish Cream – the velvety, iconic base
-
🍬 1 oz butterscotch schnapps – rich and buttery, adds the signature flavor
-
🥛 1 oz heavy cream or half-and-half – for an ultra-creamy mouthfeel
-
🍫 (Optional) ½ oz chocolate liqueur – for mocha depth
-
🍦 (Optional) Scoop of vanilla ice cream – for a float-style twist
-
🧊 Ice, for serving
-
🍫 Chocolate shavings or caramel drizzle, for garnish
-
🍪 (Optional) Mini cookie or toffee bits, for extra decadence
Instructions
Step 1: Chill your glass
Pop a rocks or coupe glass into the freezer for 5–10 minutes while you prep the drink. Chilled glass = creamy cocktail magic.
Step 2: Build the base
In a mixing glass filled with ice, combine:
-
2 oz Baileys Irish Cream
-
1 oz butterscotch schnapps
-
1 oz heavy cream (or half-and-half for a lighter version)
-
(Optional) ½ oz chocolate liqueur for a mocha effect
Step 3: Stir gently
Stir for 20 seconds to chill and blend. The texture should become luxuriously smooth.
Step 4: Strain and pour
Strain into your chilled glass over fresh ice (or neat if you prefer).
Step 5: Garnish
Top with shaved chocolate, a caramel drizzle, or even a dollop of whipped cream. Add a mini cookie on the rim if you’re feeling extra fancy.
Notes
This cocktail is incredibly forgiving. Use what you have on hand, and it still turns out amazing. But here are a few pro notes:
-
Always use fresh dairy—sour cream ruins the magic
-
For a lighter version, use low-fat milk or almond milk, though it will be less creamy
-
Add ice last when serving to avoid dilution
