Ingredients
To prepare this decadent drink, you’ll need:

Equipment

Instructions
1. Prepare Your Nitro Cold Brew
Start by brewing your favorite cold brew coffee and charging it with nitrogen in your NitroTapp mini keg. The creamy, velvety texture of nitro coffee will set the perfect base for your cocktail.
2. Build the Cocktail
In a cocktail shaker, add:

3. Shake It Up
Secure the lid on your shaker and shake vigorously for about 10-15 seconds. This will chill and combine the ingredients while creating a frothy texture.
4. Pour and Garnish
Strain the mixture into your chilled glass. Top with a light dusting of cocoa powder or a sprinkle of cinnamon for added flair and aroma.
5. Enjoy the Creamy Bliss
Sip and savor the smooth blend of nitro coffee, Baileys, and a hint of indulgence.
Pro Tips
• Customize Your Flavor: Swap Baileys for other cream liqueurs like Kahlua or RumChata for a unique twist.
• Make it Decadent: Add a dollop of whipped cream or chocolate shavings for a dessert-like treat.
• Serve for a Crowd: Pre-mix the coffee and Baileys in a pitcher, and charge it in your NitroTapp for an all-in-one nitro cocktail experience.
