Ingredients you need
- Bailey’s: Bailey’s is an awesome way to add a little creamy kick to your coffee. It is the perfect thing to add to your evening pick-me-up or weekend cup! My favorite variety of Baileys is their Salted Caramel flavor; however, you can use any flavor you like, including Baileys Non-Dairy!
- Strong Coffee: The creaminess of Baileys needs the bold, robust taste of freshly brewed coffee. It’s best to use freshly brewed coffee for this recipe, but you can use your favorite beans, including decaf.
- Whipped Cream: This cocktail is all about treating yourself, so you just have to finish it with whipped cream! And if you truly love Baileys you can even use Baileys-Flavored whipped cream!
- Cocoa Powder: Use this chocolatey staple to garnish your finished drink.
Coffee and Baileys Step-by-step
Step One: Pour the coffee into the serving mug.
Step Two: Add the Bailey’s, in our case, salted caramel Bailey’s, and stir well.
Step Three: Serve your drink in style by topping it with fresh whipped cream and a nice dusting of cocoa powder!
Barista Tips
Don’t forget to clean and maintain your brewing equipment because a clean coffee brewer makes better-tasting coffee!

- Measuring Tools and Stirring Spoons: Have a few measuring cups and stirring spoons ready to measure and mix your drink.
