Winter Snow
Cocktail recipe

Rating

3.51 / 5
The Winter Snow cocktail is a creamy and indulgent drink that offers a harmonious blend of Bailey's Irish Cream, coffee liqueur, and whiskey. These ingredients come together to create a flavor profile that is rich and smooth, with the Irish cream providing a sweet, milky base that is perfectly complemented by the robustness of coffee liqueur and the warmth of whiskey. Served in a lowball glass, the Winter Snow is designed to capture the essence of a cozy winter day, making it a delightful choice for those chilly evenings by the fire. Despite its name, the cocktail doesn't contain any milk, allowing the other components to shine through without dilution. This cocktail is enjoyed cold, providing a refreshing yet comforting experience.
