What’s better than a beer? A Guinness, of course! And what’s better than a Guinness? This Baby Guinness Shot Recipe! Pour the coffee liqueur into the shot glass. (It should fill the glass about three-fourths of the way. You can use either Kahlua or Tia Maria (or another coffee liqueur for your shot). Tia Maria has a slightly sweeter taste than Kahlua.
