What does the The Abc Shot taste like?

The ABC cocktail is a smooth, decadent blend. The Amaretto provides a sweet almond and vanilla base, while the Baileys Irish Cream adds a rich, creamy texture and notes of chocolate and coffee. The Cognac contributes a dry, warming complexity with hints of fruit and spice. The result is a balanced, indulgent cocktail with a velvety mouthfeel and a lingering warmth.

The ABC is a creamy, sweet, and sophisticated drink. When mixing, remember that Baileys is quite thick. Use a cocktail shaker with ice and shake vigorously to blend all ingredients evenly. Strain into a chilled coupe glass. Garnish with a coffee bean or a drizzle of chocolate for an extra touch of decadence.
