Method
Coffee Base
Brew coffee
Brew 1 cup of strong hot coffee using your preferred method (drip, French press, or espresso). If the coffee is very strong or concentrated, let it sit a moment; if it’s weaker than desired, stir in up to 1/4 cup hot water to reach 1 cup of serving temperature and strength.
Preheat the serving glass or mug by rinsing with hot water and discarding the rinse. This helps keep the drink warm.
Liquors & Sweeteners
Combine
Add 1.5 fl oz Baileys Irish Cream and 1 fl oz Kahlúa to the warmed serving mug.
If you prefer a sweeter drink, add 1 tsp brown sugar or simple syrup. Stir briefly to dissolve and combine the liqueurs with the sweetener.
Pour the hot coffee into the mug over the liqueur mixture. Stir gently for about 10–15 seconds to fully integrate the Baileys and Kahlúa with the coffee, creating a smooth, creamy base.
Toppings & Garnish
Finish
Float 2 tbsp lightly whipped heavy cream on top: spoon the cream gently over the back of a spoon held just above the coffee surface so it rests as a layer. Alternatively, use a whipped cream dispenser or canned whipped cream for a thicker crown.
Dust 1 tsp grated dark chocolate or a light sprinkle of cocoa powder over the cream.
Optional: place a single whole coffee bean on top as a garnish.
Serve immediately while hot. Provide a small spoon so the drinker can swirl the cream into the coffee if desired.
