Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 200 ml (6.8 fluid ounces) hot steamed milk
- 60 ml (2 fluid ounces) double espresso
- 50 ml (1.7 fluid ounces) Baileys or Irish cream liqueur
- 30 ml (1 fluid ounce) caramel sauce
Garnishes:
- 1 dollop whipped cream
- Caramel popcorn, to serve
Spices:
- 1 pinch ground nutmeg or cinnamon
- Additional caramel sauce for garnish
Instructions
- Elegantly coat the interior of a chilled glass with a generous spiral of rich caramel sauce, ensuring complete coverage along the sides.
- Pour a robust double espresso directly into the caramel-lined glass, allowing the intense coffee to mingle with the sweet underlying layer.
- Slowly introduce the velvety Baileys Irish Cream, creating a smooth gradation of golden brown liquid against the glass.
- Gently stream steamed milk into the mixture, softly blending the espresso, Baileys, and milk into a harmonious, creamy beverage.
- Crown the drink with a luxurious cloud of freshly whipped cream, creating a pillowy white peak that rises above the glass rim.
- Artfully scatter crunchy caramel popcorn across the whipped cream surface, adding a delightful textural contrast and sweet-salty crunch.
- Finalize the presentation with an additional delicate drizzle of caramel sauce, allowing it to cascade elegantly over the whipped cream.
- Complete the creation by lightly dusting the top with a whisper of ground nutmeg or cinnamon, providing a subtle aromatic finish.
Notes
- Elevate this coffee drink by carefully layering caramel sauce first, creating a stunning visual and sweet base for the cocktail.
- Choose high-quality espresso for the most robust flavor, ensuring the coffee grounds are freshly ground for maximum taste intensity.
- Warm your steamed milk before adding to maintain the ideal drinking temperature and prevent cooling down the cocktail quickly.
- Select a double-walled glass to keep your drink insulated and showcase the beautiful caramel and coffee layers.
- Garnish with homemade or premium store-bought caramel popcorn for an unexpected crunchy texture that complements the creamy cocktail.
- Lightly dust nutmeg or cinnamon on top to add a subtle warming spice that enhances the overall aromatic experience.
