Thai Coffee Cocktail

Baileys
Author: Devi Poojari
A glass coupe filled with an iced brown beverage is next to a shot glass containing a white liquid, both placed on a dark surface with a dark background.

Ideal for coffee fiends, the Thai coffee cocktail is a cross between dessert and iced coffee – elevating the caffeine flavour with the addition of coffee liqueur and Irish cream liqueur. Preferably using Thai coffee as a base, the foundation can also be substituted with a high quality, artisanal cold brew to maintain a flavour that is as close to the authentic.
