  • Author: Imili Johnson
  • Total Time: 5 min

Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 oz French vanilla vodka

  • 1 oz coffee liqueur (e.g., Kahlúa)

  • 1 oz Irish cream liqueur (e.g., Baileys)

  • 2 oz heavy cream (or milk for a lighter version)

  • Chocolate syrup (for drizzling)

  • Ice cubes

Optional Garnish

  • Whipped cream

  • Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder


Instructions

Preparation

Step 1: Drizzle chocolate into the glass
Before you mix the drink, swirl chocolate syrup inside a chilled rocks or hurricane glass for a decorative, indulgent touch. Set aside.

Step 2: Combine ingredients in shaker
In a cocktail shaker, add 1 oz French vanilla vodka, 1 oz coffee liqueur, 1 oz Irish cream, and 2 oz heavy cream. Add ice to fill the shaker halfway.

Step 3: Shake it up
Shake vigorously for 15 seconds until the mixture is frothy and chilled.

Step 4: Strain and serve
Strain the cocktail into your prepared glass filled with fresh ice (or serve straight up if preferred).

Step 5: Garnish and enjoy
Top with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or a light dusting of cocoa powder for a dessert-worthy finish.

Notes

  • Heavy cream makes the drink rich and silky—use milk or half-and-half for a lighter version

  • Chilling the glass before serving helps keep the cocktail cold longer

  • Always shake with ice, even if you plan to serve it without

  • Drizzling chocolate inside the glass makes for a more dessert-like presentation

  • For extra flavor, dust the top with cinnamon or nutmeg
