For making a Baby Guinness Shot, Tia Maria is my preferred choice. It tastes less sweet, is better balanced, and overall smoother than Kahlúa.

A Baby Guinness Shot is a shot, or shooter, that looks just like a tiny glass of Guinness (or other stout beer). Despite the name, the shot contains no actual Guinness! Of course, not everything went according to plan – the courier left the glasses on the doorstep, in full view of the street. But hey, at least they were still intact! As you I can see, these shots aren’t just delicious; they also spark joy and curiosity. Your friends and family will be amazed at how closely they resemble the iconic Guinness beer, only tinier.The baby Guinness shot tastes very sweet, but if you’re expecting a beer taste then you will be disappointed. Serve with Desserts: Pair these delightful shots with your favorite desserts to create a harmonious and indulgent experience. Peanut butter desserts, raspberry brownies, or even a rich cheesecake are excellent choices to complement the flavors. I’ll walk you through the steps for making this baby Guinness shots below. I’ve also provided a full ingredient list and detailed instructions in the printable recipe card at the end of this post. Coffee Liqueur– For me, Kahlúa is the standard here. Anytime a recipe has limited ingredients you want to choose the best you can for the finest results. Choose the Right Glassware: While the classic shot glasses work perfectly for these adorable treats, consider using small clear or transparent glasses to showcase the beautiful layered effect.

And with that, I think you’re ready to serve some of these baby Guinness shots. If you do, I’d love to hear all about them. Let me know what everyone thought! The coffee liqueur part in this drink mimics the iconic dark color of stout beer. In recent years, more and more coffee liqueurs have entered the market, and the sweetness and caffeine levels can vary widely. Using just Irish cream and coffee liqueur, you can w hip up these delightful shots in a matter of minutes. No fancy or hard-to-find ingredients required – just pure simplicity for a fantastic outcome.
