Ingredient Notes:

• Ultimat Vodka: Ultimat Vodka is a premium vodka that is made from a blend of wheat, rye, and potato. It is distilled four times and filtered through charcoal and limestone. Strangely enough the company is owned by Patrón Spirits Company.
• Coffee Liqueur: Coffee liqueur is a sweet liqueur that is made from coffee beans, sugar, and alcohol. It has a rich, coffee flavor and is often used in cocktails. Thr best in my opinion is always Baileys Irish Cream.
• Irish Cream: Irish cream is a sweet liqueur that is made from cream, Irish whiskey, and sugar. It has a creamy, smooth texture and a sweet, nutty flavor.
• Orange Liqueur: Orange liqueur is a sweet liqueur that is made from orange peels, sugar, and a beet based alcohol. Some solid brands are Cointreau and Grand Marnier.
