Ingredients
- 1 oz Irish whiskey
- 1 oz Irish cream liqueur
- 1 oz Frangelico (hazelnut liqueur)
- freshly grated nutmeg (garnish) garnish
Pairs With
Serve as a dessert pairing with hazelnut torte, chocolate mousse, or tiramisu to amplify the velvety nuttiness and creamy sweetness. This decadent cocktail replaces dessert wine perfectly for indulgent endings.
Instructions
Combine Irish whiskey, Irish cream liqueur, and Frangelico in a shaker
Fill with ice and shake for 10 seconds to chill
Strain over fresh ice in a rocks glass
Grate a dusting of fresh nutmeg over the top
Tips
This can also be served as a shot without ice for a quick after-dinner indulgence; just shake and strain into a shot glass Baileys is the classic Irish cream choice, but any quality Irish cream liqueur works well Avoid shaking too long; over-dilution mutes the rich, creamy flavors that make this drink special
