Someone screwed up

A baby Guinness is made from Tia Maria not Kahlua. Kahlua is too dark. Guinness is much lighter in colour.

A baby Murphy's is made from Kahlua. Murphy's is actually black, Guinness is brown when held up to the light

In case anyone cares, this can also be called a 'Little Genius' because it's kind of like 'Little Guiness'. But littler. Even though it should be Tia Maria and Baileys.

Ruby?

Well actually guinness is ruby red when held up to the light (if you want to be an a$$hole about it!)

Also, despite these drinks tasting like sweets, they will kill you.

I love these

I know these as Baby Guinesses... not as baby Murphy's.

Do as the irish do.

I was in Ireland over the new year and ordered 1 of these little beasts. Guess what was in it. Tia Maria and the Baileys.

Guinness is actualy red in color... try it out, pour some on a napkin and wait. Visit the brewery and they`ll tell you.

Buy guinness

I don't think it matters, I'm guessing the idea is the aesthetics behind it as i doubt the two create a guinness like taste. With reference to it being red, yeah, i really notice that when it's in the glass. If someone made a 'baby guinness' red i think there'd be even more auspicious comments!

Oooh

Guinness draught is not good extra stout is a lot darker than that other stuff.
