Baby Guinness Shot Recipe

A fun recipe for any get-together, these Baby Guinness are not only adorable but delicious too! With just 2 ingredients and ready in no time, these are sure to be a hit. 

I have to admit, I’ve never been a big drinker, but I do love a specialty drink every once in a while, all in moderation, I say! My Baby Guinness are the perfect drink to serve on St. Patrick’s day but tasty enough all year long.

What I especially love about these little shots is 1. they only use two ingredients, and 2. they are flat-out delicious. I’m talking so good, I like to sip mine instead of just throwing them back!

The combination of coffee liqueur and Irish cream is just a match made in Heaven, and some of my all-time favorite cocktails include the two.

And, can we just state the obvious here? They are just darn cute and really look like a little pint of Guinness!

I think sometimes the look of my drink enhances the flavor somehow. Am I crazy? Ha!

Just imagine a bunch of these little cocktails lined up and ready to go for your friends and family! I just know they will be the talk of the party.

If you are just like me and love to impress with a surprise treat, then you absolutely positively must make this Baby Guinness for your next adult gathering!

1. Only 2 ingredients!
2. Total crowd-pleasing flavors of Kahlua and Irish Cream.
3. It uses staple cocktail ingredients you probably already have on hand.

• Chilled Kahlua or coffee liquor
• Chilled Bailey’s Irish Creme

1. Take a double shot glass or serving glass and fill it ¾ the way full with the chilled Kahlua.

2. Invert a slender spoon over the glass, hovering just on top of the Kahlua. You want to ensure the spoon is smaller than the opening of the glass. Very slowly, pour the Bailey’s on top of the spoon to disperse and settle/float on top of the Kahlua. Serve immediately.

CAN I USE A DIFFERENT ALCOHOL?

To stick to the traditional cocktail, you should use Kahlua or another coffee liqueur, Bailey’s, or any Irish Cream.

However, if you want to switch up the flavor profile, you can absolutely do that with the different flavors of the two liquors.

Other flavors of coffee liqueur I suggest:

1. Mint
2. Vanilla
3. Chili Chocolate for an unexpected kick!
4. Salted Caramel

Flavors of Irish Cream that would be good:

1. Almond
2. Salted Caramel
3. Strawberries and Cream
4. Espresso
5. Red Velvet
6. Apple Pie
7. Cherry
8. Vanilla Cinnamon
9. Smores
10. Vanilla Mint

ARE BABY GUINNESS SHOTS STRONG?

Since they are made with two liqueurs and no mixer, yes, they are on the strong side.

But, you would be surprised at how easy they go down, for me personally, they are not overwhelming, and I love to sip on them.

CAN THEY BE MADE AHEAD?

No, these are best made to serve.

It is very simple to put together. Just make sure you have your alcohol chilled before your party so they are nice and cold.

DO I HAVE TO USE A SPOON?

Yes, to get that perfect pour you must use a spoon.

You very slowly pour the Irish cream over the back of a spoon, and this will disperse the cream on top of the Kahlua, so you have that perfect separation, making it look like a pint of Guinness.

Since these shots come together in about a minute, there is no need to store these.

Just make sure your ingredients are chilled beforehand.

Thank me later because your friends and family are going to go nuts for these Baby Guinness!
