Shot

Method

Shot

1

Chill glass (optional)

If you prefer a very cold shot, fill a small shot glass or shooter glass with crushed ice or ice cubes and let it sit for 30–60 seconds while you prepare the ingredients. Dump the ice and quickly dry the glass before pouring.

2

Pour coffee liqueur

Pour 1 tablespoon (about 15 ml) of Tia Maria (or Kahlúa) into the bottom of a chilled or room-temperature shot glass. This forms the 'beer' body of the Baby Guinness.

3

Float Irish cream

Slowly pour 1 tablespoon (about 15 ml) of Baileys Irish Cream over the back of a bar spoon held just above the surface of the coffee liqueur. Pour gently so the cream floats on top, creating a distinct pale head reminiscent of a Guinness.

4

Serve

Serve immediately as a shooter. Drink whole in one go or sip to enjoy the layered appearance. If preparing multiple shots, repeat the steps for each shot, using the same spoon-floating technique for consistent layers.
