Baby Guinness Recipe

Coffee liqueur: This is a rich, dark liqueur made from coffee beans, providing a strong coffee flavor with a hint of sweetness.

Vegan irish cream liqueur: A dairy-free alternative to traditional Irish cream liqueur, offering a creamy texture and a blend of whiskey, cream, and chocolate flavors.

To achieve a perfect layered effect, ensure that the vegan irish cream liqueur is poured slowly over the back of a spoon. This technique helps the liqueur float on top of the coffee liqueur without mixing, creating a distinct separation between the two layers.

• coffee liqueur - Substitute with cold brew coffee: Cold brew coffee provides a rich, deep coffee flavor similar to coffee liqueur but without the alcohol content, making it a suitable vegan alternative.

• vegan irish cream liqueur - Substitute with coconut cream and vanilla extract: Coconut cream offers a creamy texture, and adding a touch of vanilla extract can mimic the flavor profile of Irish cream liqueur in a vegan-friendly way.

• Store the coffee liqueur and vegan irish cream liqueur in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight to maintain their flavors and quality.
• Ensure that both liqueurs are tightly sealed in their original bottles or in airtight containers to prevent any contamination or evaporation.
• If you have leftover Baby Guinness shots, cover the shot glasses with plastic wrap or transfer them to small, airtight containers to keep them fresh.
• For longer storage, consider refrigerating the liqueurs. This is especially beneficial for the vegan irish cream liqueur, as it can help preserve its creamy texture and prevent separation.
• Avoid freezing the liqueurs, as the texture and flavor can be adversely affected. However, if you must freeze, pour the liqueurs into ice cube trays and cover them with plastic wrap. Once frozen, transfer the cubes to a freezer-safe bag.
• When ready to use, thaw the frozen liqueur cubes in the refrigerator. Give them a good shake or stir to recombine any separated ingredients before serving.
• Always check the expiration dates on your liqueur bottles. While alcohol has a long shelf life, the added ingredients in vegan irish cream liqueur can spoil over time.
• For best results, consume your Baby Guinness shots within a few days of preparation to enjoy the optimal taste and texture.

• unfortunately, reheating a Baby Guinness is not recommended as it is a cocktail meant to be enjoyed fresh. The layered effect and the delicate balance of flavors are best experienced immediately after preparation. If you have leftover ingredients, simply store them separately and mix a fresh Baby Guinness when you're ready to enjoy it again.
