HOW TO MAKE Baby Guinness Shots

EQUIPMENT NEEDED

To make Baby Guinness shots, you don’t need a lot of special equipment. Here’s what you will need:

• Shot or serving glasses
• A slender spoon
• Measuring jigger (optional for accuracy)
• Chilling equipment (like a fridge or ice, depending on your preference)

Ingredients You’ll Need

• 3 parts chilled Kahlua
• 1 part chilled Bailey’s Irish Creme

STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS

1. Take your shot or serving glass and fill it ¾ of the way full with Kahlua. Make sure it is cold before using.
2. Invert a slender spoon over the glass, right on top of the Kahlua. The spoon should be smaller than the opening of the glass.
3. Very slowly, pour the Bailey’s on top of the spoon. This step helps disperse and settle the Bailey’s on top of the Kahlua, creating that beautiful layered look.
4. Serve immediately and enjoy your Baby Guinness shots!

HOW TO SERVE Baby Guinness Shots

When serving Baby Guinness shots, it is best to do so right after making them. This way, the layers stay intact, and the drinks look stunning. You can serve them on a platter to impress your guests. To make the experience even more enjoyable, consider serving them alongside coffee or chocolate desserts. That will provide a nice pairing and enhance the flavors. You can also make a batch ahead of time if you’re hosting a large gathering, but make sure to keep an eye on the layers, as they can blend together if left too long.

STORAGE & FREEZING: Baby Guinness Shots

Baby Guinness shots are best enjoyed fresh. However, if you have leftovers (which is unlikely), you can store them in the refrigerator for a short time. Just be aware that the layers may mix, so they won’t look as pretty after storage. It’s not recommended to freeze Baby Guinness shots because the texture and flavor can change. For the best experience, always prepare and serve them fresh.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS

Baby Guinness shots are a great choice for many occasions. Here are some ideas on when and how to serve them:

• As a fun after-dinner drink or dessert.
• During parties or celebrations like birthdays, holidays, or other special events.
• Pair them with chocolate desserts, coffee, or even cookies for a delightful treat.
• Use them as a unique offering for guests during happy hour or game nights.

VARIATIONS

While the classic Baby Guinness shot with Kahlua and Bailey’s is delicious, you can try a few variations to switch things up:

• Spiced Baby Guinness: Add a splash of spiced rum alongside the Bailey’s for a warm flavor.
• Berry Baby Guinness: Substitute the Kahlua with a berry-flavored liqueur for a fruity twist.
• Nutty Baby Guinness: Use nut-flavored liqueur such as Frangelico instead of Kahlua for a nutty taste.
