Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 oz bourbon
  • 1 oz coffee liqueur (e.g., Kahlúa)
  • 1 oz Irish cream liqueur
  • 1/2 oz chocolate syrup
  • 1/2 oz heavy cream
  • Whipped cream (for garnish)
  • Ground cinnamon (for garnish)
  • Mini candy cane (for garnish)
  • Ice cubes

Instructions

Preparation

Step 1: Prepare the Glass Take an old-fashioned glass and drizzle chocolate syrup inside, letting it coat the bottom and sides for a festive touch. This will give the drink a beautiful layered look and add extra richness.

Step 2: Combine the Ingredients In a cocktail shaker, combine the bourbon, coffee liqueur, Irish cream liqueur, and heavy cream. The combination of these ingredients creates a rich, creamy cocktail with deep flavors perfect for the holiday season.

Step 3: Add Ice and Shake Fill the cocktail shaker with ice cubes and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds. Shaking helps chill the drink and blend all the flavors smoothly.

Step 4: Strain and Serve Strain the mixture into your prepared old-fashioned glass over fresh ice. The chocolate syrup should still be visible, giving the drink a layered appearance that looks beautiful and indulgent.

Step 5: Garnish and Enjoy Top the cocktail with a generous swirl of whipped cream. Dust with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon and garnish with a mini candy cane. The whipped cream adds a creamy texture, while the cinnamon and candy cane provide extra holiday flair. Serve immediately and enjoy the festive flavors!

Notes

  • Adjusting Sweetness: If you prefer a less sweet drink, reduce the amount of chocolate syrup or omit the whipped cream garnish. The balance of sweet and creamy is key to this cocktail.
  • Choosing Bourbon: Use a good-quality bourbon that has warm, caramel notes to complement the sweetness of the liqueurs. The bourbon adds depth and warmth to the drink.
  • Garnish Tips: For an extra festive touch, drizzle a bit of chocolate syrup over the whipped cream or add a sprinkle of crushed candy canes.
