How do you drink Baileys?

My grandma gave me a 1ltr bottle of Baileys for Christmas, I've never even tried it before but I'm going to give it a go! How do you drink it? Is it like a shot type thing like people would drink whiskey/brandy etc? Just pour a glass full and drink it like a boozy milkshake? Mix it with anything?

In a coffee
Small tumbler with ice, sipped like a whisky
A couple of shots in a chocolate milkshake

On ice and sipped- rather than all in one shot.

Straight from the bottle with a straw. It's basically a milkshake, right?

caddyshackGirl · 08/01/2022 18:20

A shot like whiskey over ice or place in fridge to get cold so ice isn't needed

I also like to sometimes drizzle a shot over vanilla ice cream with finely grated chocolate

I love the stuff

Just stuck a club in my coffee. I can't get warm so hoping this helps :)

MadMadMadamMim · 08/01/2022 18:23

By the bottle...

Just pour about 1/4 of a pint into a glass and drink it neat. Then re-fill.

I like it as a drink with lots of ice cubes or drizzled over ice cream...

Lillygolightly · 08/01/2022 18:24

With milk and ice

cliffdiver · 08/01/2022 18:24

With a few ice cubes.

We keep it in the fridge.

iklboo · 08/01/2022 18:24

Small tumbler, over ice & sipped.

Or, if you're daring, mix with vodka for a Shillelagh.

helpfulperson · 08/01/2022 18:25

I go for the boozy milkshake option but like the sound of the straw option.

Shieldingending · 08/01/2022 18:26

In hot chocolate, and I sleep really well afterwards Smile

furbabymama87 · 08/01/2022 18:26

Just as it is but best cold

Bluntness100 · 08/01/2022 18:26

Op drink it like a whisky basically. You’d not drink a tumbler full of that, so a measure in a glass with some ice.

It’s also lovely, and my preferred method, in a coffee, instead Of milk. It’s also quite nice poured over ice cream.
