Ingredients 

  • 4 Ounces (113 ⅖ g) Bailey’s Irish Cream
  • 4 Ounces (113 ⅖ g) Vodka
  • 4 Ounces (113 ⅖ g) Creme de Menthe
  • Mint Chocolate Cookies or Fresh Mint optional garnish

  • Shake well to make sure it is fully mixed and chill.
  • Strain and pour into the shot glasses.
  • Garnish with a mint cookie or fresh mint leaves. Serve right away.

Notes

It’s best to drink Dirty Thin Mint shots quickly as they can settle if left sitting for too long. While they are fantastic right after mixing, they still taste amazing even if they’ve settled a bit.
The initial flavor of the shot resembles a robust eggnog, followed swiftly by the perfect combination of chocolate and mint. It’s a delightful and indulgent shot.
Fresh mint can be added for visual appeal, but it doesn’t significantly impact the taste. Including a chocolate mint cookie as a snack alongside the shot adds a fun matching element.
If you prefer, you can substitute Bailey’s with Kahlua, but keep in mind that the shot’s color will be more brownish rather than green due to the difference in colors between the two liqueurs.
While you can add ice to the shaker, I recommend chilling the ingredients beforehand to avoid dilution and minimize frothing of the shot. This ensures a more concentrated and smoother drinking experience.
