Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
How to make a cocktail with Baileys at home? First, cook a portion of Americano (heavily diluted espresso). This is about two hundred milliliters. Leave it to cool for ten minutes. I strongly recommend using coffee beans or, in extreme cases, factory ground. Instant won't do here in any way. Prepare tall glasses on the stem.
Step 2:
When the coffee cools down, pour it evenly between two prepared glasses. That is, one serving of a cocktail requires one hundred milliliters of freshly brewed coffee.
Step 3:
Add fifty milliliters of Baileys to each glass. Stir with a teaspoon.
Step 4:
Then add twenty milliliters of whiskey to the glasses. Whiskey can be replaced with bourbon. In extreme cases — dark rum.
Step 5:
And now the main highlight of the cocktail: add mint syrup. A teaspoon per serving will be enough. At this stage, the cocktail already smells so seductively delicious that it's hard to resist! Mix the contents of the glasses thoroughly. Add ice to taste. Decorate the cocktail as your imagination suggests. I used whipped cream, pastry sprinkles, a piece of chocolate and fresh mint. Serve to the table.
I sincerely recommend adding mint syrup to the cocktail. With him, the drink will open up completely from the other side!
What can replace mint syrup? I don't even know... I think it's worth buying at least a small bottle with it. It will definitely come in handy on the farm. And not just for cocktails. For example, I use mint syrup to make morning coffee. It's fresh, delicious and very invigorating!
For my taste, a teaspoon of mint syrup is enough for one serving of a cocktail. But here it's a matter of taste. If you like it fresher, add two!
Of course, this drink is designed more for the weak half of humanity, but I think that men with a sweet tooth will not be able to resist it.
Serve the cocktail with a straw with a large hole. Slowly sip the cocktail through a straw and enjoy the unsurpassed taste!
Pleasant tasting!
It is better to use filtered or bottled water neutral to taste for cooking. If you use tap water, keep in mind that it can give the dish an unpleasant characteristic taste.
How to make ice properly? To make it transparent, use cold boiled or non-carbonated purified water. Do not take tap water, it will give the drink an unpleasant taste. Boil the water for about 2 minutes. Cool it down. Repeat boiling. Cool to room temperature. Pour into ice molds. Place in the freezer until completely solidified.
If for some reason you do not want to put ice, you can cool the drink in other ways. Put it in the refrigerator for an hour or two, cover it with frozen hot water bottles, take it out (according to the season) on a snow-covered balcony. It is convenient and fast to use cooling cubes instead of ice. They are also pre-frozen, and then put in a glass with a drink.
A beautiful solution for cooling many drinks will be grapes frozen in the refrigerator, and then added to a glass with transparent contents.
