Ingredients & How to make 
Origin & Characteristics:

The Nutty Irishman is a creamy, nut-flavored cocktail that combines two classic liqueurs: Frangelico, an Italian hazelnut liqueur, and Baileys Irish Cream, made from Irish whiskey and cream.

The drink likely gained popularity in the 1980s or 1990s, when dessert-style cocktails were trending — think creamy, sweet, and easy to sip. It’s traditionally served as an after-dinner drink, either over ice or warm (like an Irish coffee), depending on the vibe.

With its rich texture and nutty-sweet flavor, the Nutty Irishman is like the grown-up version of a hazelnut latte — only boozier and much more fun.

 

A New Twist: Nutty Irishman with Tapioca Pearls

This version takes the classic Nutty Irishman and adds tapioca pearls — the chewy black pearls you’d normally find in bubble tea. But here? They become part of the cocktail experience.

Drop the tapioca pearls into a chilled glass, pour the liqueurs on top, and suddenly this cozy cocktail has texture, playfulness, and even more indulgence. The pearls soak in the cream and hazelnut flavors, turning into soft, chewy bites of boozy dessert.

It’s part cocktail, part comfort drink, part adult boba — and 100% worth a try.
