Ingredients
Liquids
- 8 ounces Hot Chocolate
- 2 ounces Baileys Irish Cream
- 2 ounces Chocolate Liqueur (such as Tippy Cow or Mozart)
Other
- 1/2 cup Vanilla Ice Cream
Instructions
- Combine the Spirits: Pour the Baileys Irish Cream and the chocolate liqueur into a glass, creating the boozy base of the cocktail.
- Add Hot Chocolate: Pour 8 ounces of hot chocolate into the glass over the spirits, warming the mixture and enhancing the chocolate flavor.
- Top with Ice Cream: Spoon a half cup of vanilla ice cream onto the top of the drink to form a creamy, melting garnish.

Notes
- Use freshly made or high quality hot chocolate for best flavor.
- For a non-alcoholic version, omit the Baileys and chocolate liqueur and add extra hot chocolate or milk.
- Garnish options include chocolate shavings, a dusting of cocoa powder, or whipped cream for extra indulgence.
- Serve in a heat-resistant glass or mug to avoid cracking from hot liquids.
