Ingredients

Baileys Irish Cream: The star of this recipe, Baileys Irish Cream adds a luxurious and creamy element to the latte, with notes of rich chocolate, smooth caramel, and a hint of Irish whiskey. It brings a delightful richness that beautifully complements the espresso.

Espresso: The bold and robust flavors of espresso serve as the base for this latte, providing a strong and aromatic foundation that pairs perfectly with the creamy sweetness of Baileys Irish Cream. We used freshly brewed espresso, but you can use instant espresso if you like.

Hot Milk: A crucial component for creating the latte's velvety texture, hot milk adds a smooth and creamy element to the drink. It creates a delightful balance with the espresso and Baileys, resulting in a luxuriously indulgent experience.

Instructions

Start by brewing a strong cup of espresso or preparing instant espresso if you don't have an espresso machine.

Into your favorite coffee mug, add the prepared espresso and Baileys Irish Cream. Stir gently to combine the flavors.

Use a frother to froth the hot milk until it reaches a creamy and velvety consistency.

Pour the hot milk into the mug, reserving the foam.

Gently spoon the foam on top of your latte to add an extra layer of creaminess.

Top with optional garnishes like whipped cream or chocolate shavings, or simply enjoy the latte as is.

Savor every sip of this indulgent Bailey's Latte, allowing the rich flavors to envelop your palate.

Garnish Ideas

Whipped Cream: Top the latte with a dollop of freshly whipped cream for an extra touch of indulgence. The light and creamy texture of the whipped cream perfectly complements the rich flavors of the Bailey's Latte.

Chocolate Shavings: Sprinkle some chocolate shavings on top of the latte to add a hint of elegance and an extra burst of chocolatey goodness to each sip.

Caramel Drizzle: Drizzle a swirl of caramel sauce over the whipped cream or directly onto the latte for a delightful caramel accent that adds a touch of sweetness and visual appeal.

Dusting of Cocoa Powder: Lightly dust the latte with a sprinkle of cocoa powder to enhance the rich flavors and add a touch of sophistication.
