People are going crazy over a must-have drink that they’re calling ‘Baby Guinness in a bottle’.

The popular cocktail – which resembles a miniature Guinness – is a combination of a coffee liqueur – such as Tia Maria – and a cream liqueur like Baileys.

As it is a cocktail, you do need multiple ingredients and, at this time of year, they may be hard to find due to most people preparing their booze for Christmas Day.

Fortunately, people have discovered a solution which has been described as ‘Baby Guinness in a bottle’.

Sheridan’s Coffee Layered Liqueur is the drink that has everyone talking.

Before you even take a sip, your eyes will be drawn to its quirky bottle – which has a white liqueur on one side and a dark liqueur on the other.

According to Master of Malt, the white side of the bottle is made up of white milk chocolate while the dark side is coffee, dark chocolate and whiskey.

On top of that, it’s 15.5 per cent ABV, so it will certainly give you a festive buzz.

People have been using Sheridan’s Coffee Layered Liqueur to make their own version of a Baby Guinness – all without having to use a bottle of Baileys as you’d normally do.

Taking to TikTok, a user known as ManCave Bartender shared a video of him pouring the drink into two glasses to show the different ways of pouring Sheridan’s – with one method closely resembling a Baby Guinness.

He captioned the clip – which has been viewed 8.4 million times: “Baby Guinness in a bottle! How do you pour your Sheridan’s Coffee Layered Liqueur?”

Viewers were already sold after seeing the caption – but he did admit there is something he needs to fess up to in the comment section just to ease expectations.

He responded to one comment: “I’m not saying it’s the same taste, but it looks like a Baby Guinness.”

People have since reacted to his video, with one viewer writing: “I feel like I should try this one day.” 

“I’ve actually tried this and it’s one of my favourites,” claims someone else.

A third viewer says: “I have been drinking this every Christmas for 10 years how is this only just being discovered.”

Another person adds: “It’s because Baby Guinness shots are very popular at the moment. They are lovely though!”

A fifth writes: “I didn’t know they still made this! There was a bottle in every family member’s house at Xmas when I was a kid in the 90s.”
