- Coffee Liqueur: Try using any coffee liqueur or a strong-brewed coffee with some sugar.
- Irish Cream: If you don't have Irish Cream, you can make a quick substitute with heavy Cream, a splash of whiskey, and a teaspoon of chocolate syrup.

- Serve: Pour the blended mixture into individually prepared glasses, garnish as desired, and serve immediately.
Making it Non-Alcoholic:
- Vodka Substitute: Use a non-alcoholic vodka substitute or even water for dilution.
- Coffee Liqueur Substitute: Opt for strong brewed coffee with a bit of sugar.

Making it Vegan:
- Irish Cream: Use a vegan Irish Cream like Baileys Almande.
- Whipped Cream: Opt for a dairy-free whipped Cream from coconut or almond milk.
