Ingredients

Liquor Ingredients

  • 1 oz butterscotch schnapps
  • 1 oz chocolate liqueur (such as crème de cacao)
  • 1 oz Irish cream liqueur (such as Baileys)

Additional Ingredients

  • Ice cubes
  • Optional: Crushed Butterfinger candy for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the shaker: Fill a cocktail shaker with ice cubes to chill the mixture thoroughly and ensure the drink is refreshing.
  2. Add the liquors: Pour 1 oz butterscotch schnapps, 1 oz chocolate liqueur, and 1 oz Irish cream liqueur into the shaker over the ice.
  3. Shake well: Seal the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until the mixture is well chilled and slightly diluted, enhancing the flavors.
  4. Strain and serve: Strain the cocktail into a chilled cocktail glass or pour over fresh ice in a rocks glass for a more casual presentation.
  5. Garnish (optional): For an added touch, rim the glass with crushed Butterfinger candy or sprinkle some on top before serving to evoke the classic candy bar flavor and add a crunchy texture.

Notes

  • Use well-chilled glasses for the best serving temperature.
  • Adjust the amount of ice depending on preference for dilution.
  • The crushed Butterfinger garnish adds a fun, sweet crunch but can be omitted if unavailable.
  • This cocktail can be shaken with or without ice for a stronger or milder taste; shaking with ice is recommended for balance.
  • Best served immediately after preparation to maintain flavor and texture.
