Toward the end of the night, even Santa needs a little Irish courage to finish his appointed rounds. So if you're at the tail end of his run, it may be wise to put together a more potent expression of Christmas Spirits. Bailey's Irish Cream is the quintessential Christmas booze, and it plays a key role here, making a chocolate martini far more rich and complex in concert with coffee liqueur and delivering a massive chocolate payload that no icon of Christmas could possibly turn down.
