Dirty Snowman Cocktail
The Dirty Snowman Cocktail is a warm, creamy winter drink made with hot chocolate, vanilla ice cream, Bailey’s, and chocolate liqueur — a cozy, dessert-style treat perfect for cold nights.
Ingredients
- 2 scoops vanilla ice cream
- 1 –2 oz Bailey’s Irish Cream
- ¼ cup Kahlua
- 1 cup hot chocolate prepared
- 2 oz chocolate liqueur like Tippy Cow or Mozart
- Whipped cream for topping
- Sprinkles for topping
Instructions
Add the ice cream
- Scoop vanilla ice cream into a heat-safe mug. I like using two scoops so the drink stays creamy as the hot chocolate melts it.
Pour in the Bailey’s and Kahlua
- Add Bailey’s and Kahlua over the ice cream. This helps flavor the ice cream before the hot chocolate goes in.
Add the chocolate liqueur
- Pour in your favorite chocolate liqueur. This gives the Dirty Snowman its signature chocolate kick.
Slowly pour hot chocolate
- Warm your hot chocolate, then pour it slowly over the ice cream. Pouring slow keeps the ice cream from melting too fast.
Top it off
- Add whipped cream and sprinkles. You can even drizzle a little chocolate syrup if you want.
Serve right away
- The best part of a Dirty Snowman is the mix of warm hot chocolate and cold ice cream, so serve it immediately.
Notes
- Use a heat-safe mug.
- Adjust sweetness by changing the type of hot chocolate.
- Serve right away for the best warm-cold flavor.
- Add toppings like crushed cookies, chocolate chips, or marshmallows.
- Any chocolate liqueur works — use what you have.
