Ingredients
- 1 oz Baileys Irish Cream
- 1 oz chocolate syrup
- 1 cup milk
- Seltzer water
Instructions
- Chill a tall glass in the freezer for 5 minutes to ensure the drink stays cold and frothy.
- Pour the Baileys Irish Cream into the chilled glass, creating a smooth base for the egg cream.
- Add the chocolate syrup to the Baileys, gently swirling the glass to create a mixed chocolate-cream layer at the bottom.
- Slowly pour the cold milk over the Baileys and chocolate syrup, allowing it to blend naturally.
- Tilt the glass at a 45-degree angle and begin to pour the seltzer water down the side of the glass, creating a foamy head.
- Fill the glass almost to the top, stirring gently with a long spoon to incorporate the ingredients without losing carbonation.
- Stop pouring when a rich, frothy head forms on top of the drink, typically about 1-2 inches high.
- Serve immediately with a straw, enjoying the creamy, bubbly texture of the Baileys New York Egg Cream.
Tips
- Temperature is Key: Always use a pre-chilled glass to maintain the drink's optimal coldness and create that signature frothy texture.
- Pouring Technique Matters: When adding seltzer, pour it slowly down the side of the glass at a 45-degree angle to maximize foam and minimize disrupting the drink's layers.
- Quality Ingredients Make a Difference: Use premium Baileys Irish Cream and high-quality chocolate syrup for the most luxurious flavor profile.
- Serve Immediately: This drink is best enjoyed right after preparation to preserve its perfect carbonation and creamy consistency.
- Experiment with Variations: Try different chocolate syrups or add a sprinkle of cocoa powder on top for an extra gourmet touch.
