Method

Ingredients

1. In a cocktail shaker, combine chilled decaffeinated black filter coffee or espresso with vodka, Tia Maria coffee liqueur and ice. Shake vigorously, then pour into a short highball or martini glass.

2. Slowly pour Baileys Irish cream over an upturned teaspoon held low over the glass. It will form a layer at the bottom of the glass because of the density of the liquid. Top the drink with lightly whipped cream and a dusting of cocoa powder. Serve with a Boudoir biscuit.
