Description
This creamy and indulgent Baileys Martini blends smooth Irish cream, vodka, and coffee liqueur into a decadent dessert cocktail that’s perfect for beginners. Ideal for celebrations or cozy nights in, it’s a quick and elegant drink with rich chocolate and coffee notes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 oz Baileys Irish Cream
- 2 oz vodka
- 1 oz coffee liqueur
- Chocolate shavings, for garnish
Instructions
- Chill the Glasses: Place your martini glasses in the freezer for 10 to 15 minutes to enhance the cold, smooth finish of the drink. This step is optional but adds a professional touch.
- Add Ingredients to Shaker: Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice, then pour in Baileys Irish Cream, vodka, and coffee liqueur.
- Shake Until Cold: Secure the lid tightly and shake vigorously for 15 to 20 seconds. You’ll know it’s ready when the outside of the shaker feels frosty to the touch.
- Strain and Serve: Strain the mixture into chilled martini glasses for a clean and elegant presentation.
- Garnish the Drink: Top with chocolate shavings just before serving for added flavor and visual appeal. You can also drizzle chocolate syrup inside the glass for a more decadent look.
Notes
- To intensify the coffee flavor, replace the coffee liqueur with a shot of chilled espresso. For a festive twist, rim the glass with cocoa powder or crushed cookies. Use vanilla or flavored vodka to switch up the flavor profile. If you don’t have a shaker, use a tightly sealed mason jar and strain with a small mesh sieve.
