The recipes have been developed in collaboration with the launch of 100 special, limited edition Christmas bottles of Baileys. Each bottle features a handmade bespoke Felder Felder leather cuff with a unique pattern of studs and rivets – the perfect Christmas gift.
Here are the three Christmas cocktails and how to make them, enjoy!
The Baileys Slice of Christmas
Ingredients
50ml Baileys®
25ml Grand Marnier®
Cinnamon stick and powder
Method
Turn a tumbler upside down and dip the rim into a dusting of cinnamon to delicately decorate the top of the glass. In a cocktail shaker combine the Baileys and Grand Marnier and serve on the rocks inside the glass. Garnish with a cinnamon stick encased in a twirl of orange peel.
UNITS: 1.9 per serve
The Baileys Whip
Ingredients
50ml Baileys® with a hint of Coffee
1 Shot of espresso
90ml Sugar syrup
90ml Whipping cream
Method
Add 50ml-chilled Baileys with a hint of Coffee to a frozen martini glass. In an ISO whipped cream charger* add 1/3 espresso shot, 1/3 (90ml) sugar syrup, 1/3 (90ml) whipping cream and charge with two NCO2 cartridges to create a foam.
Add a layer of the frothy coffee mousse across the surface of the Baileys to garnish.
UNITS: 0.9 per serve
The Baileys Snowflake
Ingredients
25ml Baileys® Biscotti Flavour
10ml Smirnoff® Vanilla Vodka
10ml Butterscotch schnapps
50ml Single cream
Method
Add the spirits and cream to a cocktail shaker. Fill a separate pint glass with ice cubes, and shake the two together with a bartender’s flourish. Pour the mixture through the cocktail strainer into a chilled martini glass.
For an extra special touch…before pouring the cocktail into the glass, dip the top of the glass in a small saucer of water so that 1 or 2mm of the glass is covered. Then dip the wet glass rim into a dusting of coconut shavings. Carefully turn the glass around the right way and pour in the delicious Baileys cocktail – being sure not to lose any of the coconut around the top.
UNITS: 1.1 per serve
