VANILLA VODKA: If you don’t have vanilla vodka, you can use regular vodka and a teaspoon of vanilla flavoring.

HALF-AND-HALF: This is simply an equal-part combination of whole milk and heavy cream. If you don’t have a carton of half-and-half on hand, you could just use milk and cream.

CHOCOLATE SYRUP: Squirt this around the inside of your glass first for a pretty look and yummy chocolate flavor.

Storage

IN THE FRIDGE: Once you’ve poured your Bailey’s and coffee ice cubes drink, you should drink it straight away, before the ice melts.

IN THE FREEZER: A coffee ice cube tray can be stored in the freezer for about two weeks. After that, the cubes will start to sublimate and shrink, but they will still be safe to use. To keep your coffee ice cubes for longer, place the ice cube tray into a Ziploc bag once they are frozen solid.

Bailey’s and coffee are a classic combination as a cold drink as well as a hot one. Once you’ve tried adding coffee ice cubes to your cold Bailey’s, you may have a new favorite alcoholic beverage. As the ice melts, the coffee slowly infuses into your drink, creating beautiful dark swirls that taste fantastic.
