This Cognac-based cocktail was popular in the early 20th century. We have replaced the crème de cacao and cream with coffee ice cream and Baileys Irish Cream. This dessert in a glass is decadent and rich, with the coffee and Irish cream blending well with the strong flavors of the cognac. Indulge in this creamy treat and feel your worries melt away.
