Midnight Mint
CLASSIC · BAILEYS IRISH CREAM

Midnight Mint

A decadent after-dinner sipper that layers Baileys' creamy chocolate-coffee richness with the cool, refreshing bite of white crème de menthe, finished in a chocolate-rimmed glass for a grown-up mint chocolate experience.

Method
  1. 1

    Prepare the chocolate rim: moisten the edge of a chilled cocktail glass with a small amount of sugar syrup, then dip into chocolate powder or finely grated chocolate. Set aside to set.

  2. 2

    Add 45ml Baileys Irish Cream, 45ml white crème de menthe, and 45ml fresh cream into a cocktail shaker.

  3. 3

    Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for 10–12 seconds until well chilled and combined.

  4. 4

    Double-strain into the prepared chocolate-rimmed cocktail glass.

  5. 5

    Serve immediately.

From the Bartender

Use white crème de menthe rather than green to keep the drink visually clean and pale - green would muddy the colour against the cream and Baileys. Chilling the glass beforehand helps the chocolate rim set firmly and keeps the drink colder for longer.
