Cocktail Description

The Velvet Espresso Swirl isn't just a cocktail—it's a decadent dessert in a glass that will make coffee lovers weak at the knees.

This indulgent blended creation combines the smooth neutrality of Ketel One vodka with creamy Bailey's, intensely aromatic Mr Black coffee liqueur, and vanilla ice cream for a rich, velvety texture that coats your palate with coffee-forward sweetness. The crumbled Flake bar garnish adds a light chocolate accent that slowly melts into the drink, creating delightful textural contrast. Perfect for after-dinner gatherings or as a weekend brunch treat, this Collins glass cocktail works wonderfully as an alternative to dessert or alongside simple butter cookies. While it requires a blender, the preparation is straightforward—simply combine everything with crushed ice and blend until smooth. The Velvet Espresso Swirl pairs exceptionally well with chocolate desserts, tiramisu, or even spiced nuts for a satisfying sweet-savory combination.
