To be sad that I’ve wasted £17 on a bottle of Bailey’s?

Bought a bottle of the chocolate Bailey’s today thinking it would cleanse my memory of downing a pint of Irish Cream when I was 14 (it was the only thing my parents had and I wanted to get smashed Grin) and throwing up everywhere. It did not. It still tastes like the original with a weird, very mildly chocolate aftertaste. I really wanted to like it as I’m a big fan of sweet liqueurs. Everyone else seems to adore it. I just can’t get past that horrid boozy taste!

Think I’ll give it to DPs instead.

Never liked Baileys.🤢
Much preferred Devonshire Cream, much nicer taste.👍

My favourite of all time is Drambuie.😃

Has anyone tried the Hotel Chocolat Chocolate Cream? Was it nice?

I find it very sweet and cloying and actually not boozy enough, but much improved by a decent slug or three of whisky. Unfortunately this will not solve your problem at all, OP.
Perhaps some ready-made chocolate milk might do the trick?

Put it in a coffee or hot chocolate. Its much better than drinking it straight

My first thought was £17?! It’s a tenner in Tesco!

I find it leaves a weird residue in my mouth. I probably need to wash it down with gin. 🤔

Add milk to it! Longer and fresher.

The tesco cheap version is nicer and doesnt have that harsh boozy taste.
