Ingredients
Affogato Cocktail Ingredients
- 2 scoops vanilla ice cream (can use non-dairy vanilla ice cream instead)
- 1/2 ounce Irish whiskey (or whiskey of choice)
- 1 ounce Baileys Irish Cream (or Irish cream of choice)
- 1 shot espresso (or coffee)
- Semisweet chocolate shavings (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Brew Espresso or Coffee: Brew a shot of espresso or prepare some strong coffee using your preferred coffee brewing method. Decaf coffee can be used if desired.
- Prepare Ice Cream: Place 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream or gelato (or a non-dairy ice cream alternative) into a serving glass.
- Add Whiskey: Pour ½ ounce of Jameson Irish Whiskey or your whiskey of choice over the ice cream.
- Add Baileys Irish Cream: Pour 1 ounce of Baileys Irish Cream or another Irish cream liqueur over the ice cream to add a creamy, smooth texture.
- Pour Coffee: Pour the freshly brewed shot of espresso or coffee over the ice cream and liqueurs, allowing the hot coffee to slightly melt the ice cream.

- Serve: Serve immediately with a spoon, enjoying it like a luscious bowl of ice cream combined with a coffee cocktail.
