Ingredients
- Irish cream liqueur: 1 oz(30ml)

- Jägermeister: 1 oz(30ml)
- Cinnamon schnapps: 1 oz(30ml)
- Half and half: 1 oz(30ml)
Irish Cream Liqueur
With its smooth texture and sweet, milky flavor with a twist of Irish whiskey, Irish cream is the comforting base of our Oatmeal Cookie cocktail. If you pour too little, you'll lose that creamy mouthfeel; too much, and the drink becomes overly sweet and heavy. Without it, you lose the 'cookie' essence. Alternatives? Try a touch of vanilla cream liqueur for a similar profile.

Butterscotch Schnapps
Butterscotch schnapps adds a rich, buttery depth that whispers 'bakery-fresh cookies.' Skimp on it, and the drink might lack in character; too much, and the butterscotch overpowers the more subtle flavors. If you're out, a caramel liqueur could add a similar sweet profile.

Jägermeister
The secret spice! Jägermeister brings a complex herbal contrast to the sweet players. Omitting it would leave you with a one-dimensional sweetness, but overdo it and the cocktail tastes more like a herbal tonic. No Jägermeister? A dash of amaretto could provide a different, nutty kind of depth.

Cinnamon Schnapps
This adds the warm, baking-spice zing, reminiscent of cookies straight from the oven. The cocktail loses its spicy kick without it. Too much could drown out the other flavors though. Alternatively, add ground cinnamon or a cinnamon-flavored syrup for a similar kick.
Emma Rose
Half-and-Half
This dairy rounds out the texture, giving the cocktail a satisfying richness. Too little, and the drink lacks body; too much can make it too milky, muting the flavors. If you can't do dairy, consider a rich oat milk to maintain that luscious texture while staying on theme.
