Cocktail Colin says:
Baby Guinness faithfully mimics the appearance and indulgent mouthfeel of its namesake, with Bailey's creamy sweetness contrasting beautifully against the robust depth of coffee liqueur. Ideal for those who enjoy dessert-like shots that combine sweetness with a touch of bitterness.

FAQ's
How do you layer the ingredients in a Baby Guinness to achieve its distinctive look?
To create the layered effect of a Baby Guinness, first pour the coffee liqueur into the shot glass. Then, slowly pour the Bailey's over the back of a spoon so it gently floats on top of the liqueur, resembling a miniature pint of Guinness.
Can I use a different type of cream liqueur instead of Bailey's in a Baby Guinness?
Yes, you can use other types of cream liqueurs instead of Bailey's in a Baby Guinness. However, the flavor profile may slightly change depending on the cream liqueur you choose. Look for one that complements the richness of the coffee liqueur.
What's the best way to serve a Baby Guinness?
The Baby Guinness is best served cold, in a shot glass. It's typically consumed in one go, much like a traditional shot. Chilling the ingredients before preparation can enhance the smooth texture and rich flavors.
How does the alcohol content of a Baby Guinness compare to a regular beer?
With an alcohol content of 19%, the Baby Guinness is significantly stronger than most regular beers, which typically have an alcohol content around 4-6%. It's intended as a shot-sized cocktail, not a drink to be consumed in the same quantity as beer.
Is the Baby Guinness suitable for any specific types of occasions?
The Baby Guinness is a fun and visually appealing shot that's perfect for celebrations, parties, or as a novelty drink on St. Patrick's Day. Its small size and delightful appearance make it a great choice for toasting special moments.
