What are some good ways to drink Bailey's Irish Cream?

Answer by  olive49 (424)

The two best ways to drink Bailey's Irish Cream are probably the simplest. Cold - Fill a tumbler with ice cubes, add 1 part milk and 1 part Bailey's. Stir and enjoy. Hot - Make a mug of hot chocolate as usual, add about 2 shots Bailey's. Stir and enjoy.

Bailey's Irish Cream is absolutely excellent when you put it in coffee. It puts just the right flavoring in your coffee and makes it so delicious, especially on a cold day. It is also good just to drink it as a straight shot.

It's hard to beat just drinking it on the rocks, but it's also absolutely terrific in coffee or hot chocolate. Pour some over ice cream (pretty much any flavor, though I'd advise just getting the best darn vanilla you can -- simplicity is a winner here, as the cream is yummy enough not to need anything much extra).

You can make a milkshake with Bailey's, add some scoops of ice cream and blend together - easy! Another recipe is combining 2oz Bailey's, 1 oz hazelnut liqueur, 1/2oz banana liqueur, and 1/2oz cream blended with ice. For a warm drink - 3oz bailey's, 3oz butterscotch schnapps, 3oz cinnamon schnapps; heat in the microwave.

An easy way to enjoy Bailey's Irish Cream liqueur is to use it in hot drinks like coffee or hot chocolate. In coffee, just replace the milk you would normally use with Bailey's. Don't add sugar though- it will be plenty sweet on its own.

It's very good in coffee. I enjoy a tall glass of iced Bailey's as a treat anytime. For dessert vanilla ice cream, chocolate sauce, Baileys and whipped cream.

In a tropical place (Hong Kong), I cool the Bailey's until near 0 degree and drink the shot straight. It cools everything down, sweetly! Or, a big ball of vanilla ice-cream in the mouth and a mouthful of cold Bailey's, wow! 35C temperature is nothing!

My in-laws put it in coffee and it is about the most heavenly thing I have ever had to drink in my life. You might also be able to try it in tea. I have never had it that way, but it might be worth a shot to try it.

Bailey's Irish is great to use as a topping in ice cream, just pout it on like chocolate syrup and add whipped cream!

Bailey's is excellent in place of cream in coffee and adds a welcome layer of flavor to hot cocoa. For a new taste, add some Kahlua in with the Bailey's.

Bailey's is great over the rocks, with or without a shot of Irish Whiskey. It is terrific with coffee and a bit of whipped cream on top. This drink is also good with a shot of Irish Whiskey.

Find a good Harry Potter butterbeer recipe and add some Bailey's to it. Tastes good hot OR cold.

Blend up equal parts of Bailey's Irish Cream, coffee, milk, and ice for a cool drink on a hot day. Get a large container. Fill with ice/salt (salt lower the temp even more). Let a bottle of Bailey's sit in there for 20+ min. Feels heaven going down your throat.

Irish car bombs. Take a half glass of guiness and drop a shot glass with Bailey's into the glass and down it, it is an amazing flavor combo.
