There are many versions of this popular mixed drink. Bartending 101 gives one version as equal parts Amaretto, Kahlúa and Baileys Irish Cream.[1] One version is "made on your B.A.C.K.", meaning it is made with Baileys, Amaretto, half and half (cream) and Kahlúa, with each ingredient having one part. Another variation contains 1/3 oz. each of Vodka, Amaretto, Triple Sec, White Crème de cacao, and 1 oz. of light cream. The "screaming orgasm" is often made with 2 cl Vodka, Kahlúa, Amaretto, and Bailey's, and 4 cl milk.
Since 2011,[citation needed] the cocktail is no longer part of the official IBA cocktails of the International Bartenders Association (IBA).
