- 12 ounces (354 milliliters) Kahlua
- 12 ounces (354 milliliters) Baileys Irish Cream

- 1 cup (237 milliliters) iced coffee (cold brew or chilled brewed coffee)
Garnish and Optional Ingredients:
- ½ cup (118 milliliters) milk or cream
- Ice cubes
- Whipped cream
- Cocoa powder or chocolate shavings
Instructions
- Chill a tall glass by placing several ice cubes at the bottom, creating a frosty foundation for this decadent cocktail.
- Expertly pour the rich, velvety Kahlua liqueur over the ice, allowing it to cascade smoothly along the inner glass walls.
- Follow the Kahlua with a generous splash of creamy Baileys Irish Cream, creating a luxurious layered effect.
- Carefully introduce cold, freshly brewed coffee, filling the glass nearly to the rim and gently mixing the spirits with a long cocktail spoon.
- For those desiring a silkier consistency, incorporate a splash of whole milk or light cream, blending the ingredients into a harmonious mixture.
- Crown the cocktail with a billowing cloud of whipped cream, extending just beyond the glass rim for dramatic presentation.
- Elevate the visual and flavor profile by delicately dusting the cream with cocoa powder or elegant chocolate shavings.
- Serve immediately, presenting a sophisticated adult beverage that promises a delightful sensory experience.
Notes
- Chill your glass beforehand to keep the drink colder for longer without diluting the flavors too quickly.
- Use cold brew coffee for a smoother, less acidic taste that blends beautifully with the creamy liqueurs.
- Experiment with different ratios of Kahlua, Baileys, and coffee to find your perfect balance of sweetness and strength.
- For a non-alcoholic version, swap liqueurs with coffee syrup and cream for a delightful mocktail that still feels indulgent.
