cocktail shaker or a mason jar

Ingredients

2 oz Baileys salted caramel
1 oz Kahlua
½ oz Vodka
3 oz half-and-half
1 drizzle caramel sauce (Ghirardelli is the best)

Instructions

Drizzle the caramel sauce inside the martini glass and place it in the freezer for 5-10 minutes.
Add Baileys, Kahlua, vodka, half-and-half, caramel sauce, and ice to a cocktail shaker.
Shake vigorously for 5-10 seconds and pour into a chilled glass.
Add garnish if preferred (like caramel pieces or whipped cream) and serve immediately!

Notes

Non-Dairy Option: Replace half-and-half with almond milk, oat milk, or coconut cream for a dairy-free, creamy alternative.
Add a Chocolate Touch: Drizzle chocolate syrup and caramel, or replace Kahlua with chocolate liqueur for a mocha-inspired variation.
Espresso Addition: Add a shot of freshly brewed espresso or strong coffee for a rich and energizing flavor boost.
Use Chilled Glasses: Freeze your martini glasses ahead of time to keep the cocktail cold and refreshing for longer.
Shake Vigorously: Shake the ingredients with ice for at least 5-10 seconds to ensure the cocktail is well-mixed and has a smooth, frothy texture.
