No exact bottle on the shelf? These swaps keep Baby Guinness close to the original.
Instead of Irish Cream
- Amarula— fruitier, works 1:1
Instead of Coffee Liqueur
- Chocolate Liqueur— leans mocha
- Coffee Brandy— drier, boozier
Instructions
Pour Kahlua, almost filling shot glass.
Then, carefully pour Baileys, using wall of shot glass.
This will give the "Guinness" its "head".
