par

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 oz. (15 ml) Cake-Flavored Vodka
  • 1/2 oz. (15 ml) Baileys Irish Cream
  • 1/2 oz. (15 ml) Amaretto (Almond Liqueur)
  • 3–4 Coffee Ice Cubes
  • 2–3 oz. Half & Half Milk
  • Chocolate Syrup (for drizzling)
  • Garnish:
    • 1 Maraschino Cherry

Preparation:

  1. Make Coffee Ice Cubes (Optional):
    • Brew strong coffee and let it cool completely.
    • Pour the coffee into an ice cube tray and freeze until solid.
    • These will keep your drink chilled without diluting the coffee flavor.
  2. Drizzle the Chocolate:
    • Take your serving glass and drizzle chocolate syrup along the inside. Let it pool slightly at the bottom for extra decadence.
  3. Build the Drink:
    • Pour 1/2 oz. Cake Vodka, 1/2 oz. Baileys Irish Cream, and 1/2 oz. Amaretto into the glass.
    • Stir gently to combine the flavors.
  4. Add Coffee Ice Cubes:
    • Drop 3–4 coffee ice cubes into the glass for a visually appealing, rich coffee taste.
  5. Top with Half & Half:
    • Slowly pour 2–3 oz. Half & Half Milk over the mixture, creating a layered effect.
  6. Garnish:
    • Place a maraschino cherry on top of the drink or on the rim for a pop of color and sweetness.

Benefits of Monkey Coffee:

  1. Elevates Mood:
    • The caffeine from the coffee ice cubes provides a subtle energy boost.
    • The creamy sweetness creates a sense of indulgence, perfect for relaxing.
  2. Rich in Flavor:
    • Combining Baileys, Amaretto, and cake vodka offers a balanced blend of creamy, nutty, and dessert-like flavors.
  3. Customizable:
    • Can be adjusted to suit dietary preferences by substituting milk or making a non-alcoholic version.
  4. Great for Socializing:
    • This drink is a conversation starter and makes a fun addition to parties, brunches, or casual gatherings.

Q&A:

Q: Can I make this non-alcoholic?
A: Absolutely! Replace the alcohol with flavored syrups like almond, vanilla, or cake syrup. For added richness, use chocolate milk instead of half & half.

Q: What if I don’t have coffee ice cubes?
A: Regular ice works fine but may dilute the coffee flavor over time. Alternatively, add a splash of strong cold brew coffee.

Q: Can I use a different milk option?
A: Yes, substitute the half & half with almond milk, oat milk, coconut milk, or any other preferred milk alternative.

Q: What are some additional toppings?
A: Try whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or a dusting of cinnamon or cocoa powder.

Q: Can this be made hot?
A: While the recipe is designed as a chilled cocktail, you can heat the milk, mix the liquors, and pour them into a warm cup for a cozy variation.

Serving Suggestions:

  • Occasions:
    • Ideal for brunches, dessert pairings, or a cozy treat on a chilly evening.
  • Pairings:
    • Serve alongside pastries like croissants, biscotti, or chocolate lava cake for a decadent experience.
