The Butter Chocolate Bliss cocktail blends the rich flavors of Kahlua, butterscotch schnapps, and milk. This decadent drink is perfect for when you want something truly indulgent but light on the alcohol.

This drink is perfect for the end of a long day, when you need a little sweet luxury to make it through the rest of your evening. It’s also wonderful as a dessert substitute. Think of this drink the next time you’re in the mood for a Black Russian.

Tasting Notes

This drink has a combination of flavors that could never go wrong. The first note you’ll taste is the bittersweet coffee taste from the Kahlua, followed by the caramelized sugar and warm, buttery notes of the butterscotch schnapps.

The milk provides some balance to all that sweetness, melding it all into a creamy, decadent treat. It gives the drink its velvety, silky mouthfeel.

Key Ingredients

You only need two liqueurs and some milk to make this drink happen!

Kahlua

This rich and smooth spirit is made from 100% Arabica coffee beans, which are roasted and blended with sugar, vanilla, and rum. You can use a different coffee liqueur if you want.

Butterscotch Schnapps

This yummy spirit adds a decadent, indulgent sweetness. DeKuyper Buttershots is a standout option for this drink, but you can use any bottle that’s called “butterscotch schnapps” or “butterscotch liqueur”.

Milk

The milk is what turns this cocktail into a creamy treat. You can use anything in this drink, including plant milks. Whole dairy milk will make it much creamier than skim milk or plant milk, but it’s good both ways, so you can choose whatever sounds good to you.

Serving Suggestions

The Butter Chocolate Bliss cocktail is best served chilled, in a classic cocktail glass or a rocks glass. It’s just perfect garnished with whipped cream and some chocolate shavings. Or just the chocolate shavings. Or some cocoa powder.

It’s great for a romantic evening, as a nightcap, or even as a light dessert substitute. The milk makes it a little bit filling and can soothe an upset stomach, making it great for after dinner.

Food Pairings

This drink is great served with a flourless chocolate cake or coffee-infused ice cream. If you want to pair it with meals, think about what goes with a milkshake – diner foods like burgers, for example.
