Baby Guinness Ingredients
- Kahlua is a Mexican coffee-flavored liqueur that adds the dark and rich flavor to the Baby Guinness shot. It has a sweet and smooth taste that pairs perfectly with Bailey’s Irish Creme. The chilled Kahlua provides a refreshing contrast to the other ingredients of this shot, making it all the more enjoyable to consume.
- Bailey’s Irish Creme is an iconic cream liqueur made with Irish whiskey, cream and natural flavors. The unique combination of these creates a smooth and creamy texture, perfect for mixing into cocktails like Baby Guinness Shots. Chilled Bailey’s compliments the Kahlua, creating a sweet and flavorful shooter you’ll love!
How to Make Baby Guinness Shot
- Take your shot or serving glass and fill it ¾ the way full with Kahlua.
- Invert a slender spoon over the glass, right on top of the Kahlua. You want to ensure the spoon is smaller than the opening of the glass. Very slowly, pour the Bailey’s on top of the spoon to disperse and settle on top of the Kahlua. Serve immediately.
How to Store
To ensure that your Baby Guinness shots stay as fresh and tasty as possible, it’s important to store them properly. Make sure to keep them in a cool and dry place, away from any direct heat sources or sunlight. If you plan on storing the ingredients separately (like the Kahlua and Bailey’s), make sure they are sealed airtight so they won’t spoil prematurely. I prefer to wait until my guests arrive before I mix the shots together.
Common Questions
What’s the spoon trick?
You have to do the spoon trick, or else pouring the Baileys right into the shot glass will force it to mix with the Kahlua. Then you will not have the separation, and it won’t look like a Guinness pint.
Where should I store the ingredients before mixing?
Make sure you think ahead and have your Kahlua and Bailey’s in the fridge before your guests arrive.
What do these shots taste like?
These shots are soooooo good, I like to sip them because they just taste so good instead of throwing them back!
