The recipe.
Scaling adjusts quantities only. Prepare shaken drinks in individual portions.
Let’s make a good drink.
Chill both liqueurs and a shot glass.
Pour the coffee liqueur into the glass first.
Slowly add the Irish cream over the back of a spoon so it forms a separate top layer.
A thoughtful finish
- Set out the glass, measure and garnish before starting the pour.
Common mistakes
- Using a warm serving glass for a drink served without ice.
