  1. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice, then pour in 1.5 fluid ounces (44 mL) of both Baileys Espresso Creme and regular espresso. Shake both of the ingredients together, then strain the chilled drink into a martini-style glass.
    • As a finishing touch, drop a few espresso beans on the surface of your drink as a garnish.
  2. Add ice to a cocktail shaker and pour in 1.5 fluid ounces (44 mL) of Bailey Espresso Creme, 0.25 fluid ounces (7.4 mL) of spiced rum, and 0.25 fluid ounces (7.4 mL) of espresso. Shake all of these ingredients together for several seconds, then pour them over a strainer into a martini glass.
    • As an extra garnish, sprinkle a pinch of ground cinnamon over the top of your drink.
  3. Add 2 scoops of a generic ice cream flavor, like chocolate, coffee, or vanilla, to the bottom of a large glass. As a finishing touch, pour in 1.5 fluid ounces (44 mL) of Baileys Espresso Creme on top of the ice cream. Afterward, enjoy this dessert with a spoon!
  4. Fill a rocks glass with several ice cubes and pour in 2 fluid ounces (59 mL) of Baileys Espresso Creme. After this, place a spoon face-down in the glass so the back, curved edge of the utensil faces upward. Pour 1 fluid ounce (30 mL) of vodka and 2 fluid ounces (59 mL) of chilled espresso over the back of the spoon to layer the ingredients within the drink. Finish off the drink with a thick coating of whipped cream, then garnish with 3 espresso beans. [1]
    • The back of the spoon makes it easier to layer and mix the ingredients without needing to stir the drink.
    • You can also use regular Baileys instead of Baileys Espresso Creme.
  5. Empty a packet of hot cocoa into a mug, then fill it at least ¾ of the way with hot water. After this, mix 2 fluid ounces (59 mL) of Baileys Espresso Creme into your hot drink. As a finishing touch, add some whipped cream and chocolate syrup on top of your beverage. [2]
    • You can also use regular Baileys Irish Cream for this.
