Give me a spectacular cocktail with a bit of dramatic flair and I am your girl Friday! The Leo in me loves the theatre that unfolds on the table when you are presented with an interactive cocktail or dessert for a special occasion. For my third recipe collaboration with Baileys, I decided to combine all these ideas and emotions into a cocktail shake with a flaming marshmallow atop a layer of creamy foam and hot chocolate fudge sauce.
Let this easy but stunning cocktail invoke scenes from an après ski bar, snowflakes drifting lazily, a slow fire crackling, ambient music dotting the clink of glassware and the gentle murmur of conversation. Imagine being served with this glorious winter shake in a tall footed glass. Imagine the bartender placing a couple of marshmallows on top and then flaming them with a blowtorch! The smell of toasted marshmallows is just a prelude to the sweet, balanced, velvety cocktail you will sip slowly. A playful winter warmer made extra delicious with Baileys Irish Cream.
True to my muse for this cocktail, I shall be celebrating my birthday in style on the ski slopes this week.
