Description

Creamy Dirty Snowman cocktail combines rich bourbon with peppermint schnapps and chocolate liqueur for a luxurious winter drink. Cold nights become more delightful with this indulgent blend that warms spirits and delights taste buds.


Ingredients

Scale

Main Alcohol Ingredients:

  • 2 ounces (59 ml) Baileys Irish Cream
  • 2 ounces (59 ml) chocolate liqueur (such as Tippy Cow or Mozart)

Base Liquid:

  • 8 ounces (237 ml) hot chocolate

Creamy Element:

  • ½ cup (118 ml) vanilla ice cream

Instructions

  1. Select a tall, clear glass to showcase the layered beverage and create an appealing visual presentation.
  2. Gently pour 1.5 fluid ounces (45 milliliters) of Baileys Irish Cream along the interior side of the glass, allowing it to settle at the bottom.
  3. Carefully layer 1.5 fluid ounces (45 milliliters) of chocolate liqueur atop the Baileys, creating a distinct separation between the two liqueurs.
  4. Slowly introduce piping hot chocolate, approximately 6 fluid ounces (180 milliliters), directly over the liqueur layers, maintaining the beautiful stratification.
  5. Crown the beverage with a generous scoop of premium vanilla ice cream, positioned delicately on the liquid surface.
  6. Using a long bar spoon, gently swirl the ingredients to intertwine the flavors without completely destroying the original layered aesthetic.
  7. Optional: Embellish the drink with a dollop of freshly whipped cream, delicate chocolate shavings, or an artistic drizzle of rich chocolate syrup.
  8. Serve immediately while the temperature contrast between the hot chocolate and cold ice cream remains pronounced, ensuring a luxurious sensory experience.
