Cocktail Colin says:
Tall, Dark And Yummy is essentially a boozy milkshake, overflowing with the rich creaminess of Baileys and the indulgence of chocolate ice cream. It’s a lush treat for dessert enthusiasts, though some might find it more of a drinkable dessert than a classic cocktail.

FAQ's
How do I properly stir the Tall, Dark And Yummy cocktail?
To properly stir the Tall, Dark And Yummy, start by adding the Bailey's, vodka, milk, and cream into your cocktail glass. Use a long spoon to gently stir the mixture to ensure the ingredients are well combined but not overly aerated. Once mixed, gently fold in the chocolate ice cream scoops to avoid breaking them up too much, aiming for a smooth consistency.
What is the best way to serve the Tall, Dark And Yummy cocktail to enhance its flavors?
The Tall, Dark And Yummy cocktail is best served in a chilled cocktail glass to maintain its cold temperature, enhancing the rich and creamy texture. Before serving, you could also garnish the cocktail with a sprinkle of cocoa powder or chocolate shavings on top to elevate the chocolate flavor. Serve immediately after preparation to prevent the ice cream from melting.
What garnishes work well with the Tall, Dark And Yummy?
For the Tall, Dark And Yummy cocktail, consider garnishing with chocolate shavings, a light dusting of cocoa powder, or even a small chocolate bar perched on the rim of the glass. These garnishes complement the creamy and chocolate components of the drink while adding an appealing visual element.
Can I substitute any ingredients in Tall, Dark And Yummy for a lighter version?
Yes, you can make a lighter version of the Tall, Dark And Yummy by substituting the cream with a lighter milk alternative or a low-fat cream. Similarly, you can choose a low-fat chocolate ice cream or even a chocolate-flavored frozen yogurt. These substitutions will reduce the overall calorie content without significantly altering the taste.
How does the alcohol content in Tall, Dark And Yummy compare to other creamy cocktails?
