Luckily, The Bierkeller team has your back!
We explain which ingredients you’ll need to pick up from the shop and exactly how you should be combining them to create an irresistibly smooth and sweet Baby Guinness shot that you won’t soon forget.
What is a Baby Guinness?
Before we jump straight into the details of making a baby Guinness, let’s find out what’s in a mini Guinness shot exactly.
With no need for a long shopping list of fancy or hard-to-find ingredients – a Baby Guinness requires just two straightforward ingredients; coffee liqueur (coffee beans infused in alcohol) and Irish cream (a cream liqueur based on Irish whiskey).
This coffee-flavoured shot is commonly made using a coffee liqueur like Kahlúa or Tia Maria, but it can be made with any brand of coffee liqueur.
For the Irish cream, many choose to use Baileys Irish cream, but just like the coffee liqueur, you can use any Irish cream that takes your fancy.
How to make a Baby Guinness
No matter whether you want to learn how to make Baby Guinness with Tia Maria and Baileys or Kahlúa and homemade Irish cream, the method remains the same.
1.Start by pouring your choice of coffee liqueur into the shot glass until it reaches three-fourths of the way
2.Hold a teaspoon just above the shot glass at an angle and gently pour your choice of Irish cream liqueur over the back of the spoon. This will create the creamy ‘head’ of the shot, imitating a real pint of dark and foamy Guinness beer.
3.The long-awaited, final step, simply get your pals together and enjoy!
At The Bierkeller, you can order a deliciously creamy baby Guinness from any of our well-equipped bars.
Made using Kahlúa and Baileys, these rich and flavour-packed shots are perfect for celebrating and getting the party started!
