From the Bartender

Pre-warming the glass is essential - a cold mug will cause the Baileys to curdle when it meets the hot coffee, ruining both texture and appearance.

Warm and deeply comforting, with bold roasted coffee meeting the smooth, malty warmth of Irish whiskey over a gentle sweetness. The cool, silky cream on top creates a luxurious contrast with every sip.

Rich and velvety with deep notes of chocolate, espresso, and butterscotch swirled through silky cream - indulgent and warming, like a boozy milkshake built for slow sipping.

Velvety and indulgent, with Irish cream's chocolate-tinged sweetness wrapped around the warm, toasted hazelnut richness of Frangelico. Milk softens the blend into a smooth, dessert-like finish that lingers with gentle warmth.
