Ingredients
Scale
For the Cocktail:
- 1/4 cup chocolate syrup
- 1 1/2 oz. Baileys Irish Cream
- 1 1/2 oz. bourbon
- 1 oz. chocolate liqueur
- 1/2 oz. Kahlúa
- 1/2 oz. milk
- Ice, as needed
Garnish:
- Grated fresh nutmeg, for garnish
- 1 Oreo turkey (optional, for decoration)
Instructions
- Prepare the Glass: Drizzle the chocolate syrup inside a martini or coupe glass, swirling it to create an attractive pattern. Place the glass in the freezer to chill while you prepare the cocktail.
- Mix the Cocktail: In a cocktail shaker, combine Baileys Irish Cream, bourbon, chocolate liqueur, Kahlúa, and milk. Fill the shaker with ice, secure the lid, and shake vigorously for about 20 seconds until the outside of the shaker frosts up, indicating the drink is well chilled and mixed.
- Serve: Strain the cocktail mixture into the chilled glass. Grate fresh nutmeg over the top to add a warm, aromatic flavor. Optionally, garnish with an Oreo turkey for a festive touch.
Notes
- Using a frozen glass helps keep the cocktail chilled longer without diluting it.
- Adjust the bourbon amount based on your personal preference for strength.
- The Oreo turkey garnish is optional but adds a fun holiday flair.
- For a creamier cocktail, substitute whole milk with half-and-half or heavy cream.
