Cooking Notes

- For a stronger coffee flavor, add a splash of cold espresso.

Tips
- To make it even richer, replace heavy cream with vanilla or chocolate ice cream.
- If you don’t have a blender, shake all ingredients (except Oreos) in a cocktail shaker with ice, then pour over crushed Oreos in the glass.
- For a fancy presentation, rim the glass with crushed Oreos or cocoa powder.
- Use different flavors of Oreos to change up the taste, such as golden Oreos, double-stuffed, or birthday cake flavor.

FAQs
1. Can I make this ahead of time?
This drink is best enjoyed fresh, but you can pre-mix the liquids (vodka, Irish cream, coffee liqueur) and refrigerate them until ready to blend with ice and Oreos.

A smooth vodka like Grey Goose, Absolut, or Tito’s is ideal for a clean taste that won’t overpower the drink’s sweetness.
3. Can I use store-bought chocolate milk instead of heavy cream?
Yes! It will add extra chocolate flavor while still keeping the drink creamy.

If you don’t have Baileys, you can use another brand of Irish cream liqueur or mix heavy cream with coffee syrup for a similar flavor.
5. Can I make this dairy-free?
Yes! Use coconut milk or almond milk creamer and a dairy-free chocolate syrup to make a lactose-free version.
