Baileys Irish Cream

Baileys Irish Cream has been a staple part of bars and many homes since it's inception in 1974. When it was first introduced to the world a cream liqueur was a novel concept and the world took to it immediately. Baileys is a combination of Irish whiskey and the finest Irish cream combined with a chocolate and caramel flavoring.

The 1980s cocktail scene saw a growth in the number of creamy cocktails being drunk, this was due to Baileys. Baileys mixes so well with so many other liqueurs and spirits that it really is a must have bar essential.

Baileys and Kahlua 

Coffee and Cream, a match made in heaven

Baileys mixes especially well with Kahlua as the cream flavors of the Baileys enhances the coffee taste of the Kahlua. I have combined the two of them really well in my own Choc Bunny cocktail and here are plenty of other cocktails with both Baileys and Kahlua in them.

Mint and Caramel Baileys 

Bailey's Irish Cream welcomes new flavors

The makers of Ireland's favorite cream liqueur - Baileys were not content to stop once they were on a winner. Two more flavors have been added to the Baileys range - Baileys Mint Chocolate and Baileys Caramel.

As I have already said the creamy taste of Baileys goes really well with both mint and chocolate, with the Baileys Mint Chocolate you no longer have to add those flavors together - it's done for you! For a really intense flavor, however you could still add your own flavors:

Choc Mint Martini

30ml Baileys Mint Chocolate
15ml crème de menthe
15ml dark crème de cacao
30ml milk

Place all of the ingredients into a cocktail shaker with ice and shake well. Strain into a cocktail glass to serve, an after eight mint makes a lovely accompaniment.



Bailey's Caramel really enhances the touch of caramel flavor that you can detect in the original Baileys Irish Cream. As we have already seen Baileys and kahlua really compliment each other, but if you like your coffee sweet then you need this cocktail:

Caramel Espresso Martini

30ml Baileys Caramel
30ml Kahlua
10ml vanilla vodka

Place all of the ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice and shake well. Strain into a cocktail glass to serve and accompany it with a couple of chocolate coated coffee beans.
