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?

@GiveMyHeadPeaceffs

I drink mine like this; measure of Bailey's, measure of toffee vodka and ice cubes made from really strong espresso. I can only manage a couple but bloody hell they're delicious Grin
Another great idea! I need to try this

With ice, ice cream or in hot chocolate. Or coffee. You can make your own:

1 teaspoon cocoa powder
1 tin sweetened condensed milk
1 cup whisky or brandy (cheap is fine)
1 cup cream (single, double or whipping)

Blend the cocoa powder with a bit of cream until smooth, then gradually whisk in the cream and the other ingredients. Keeps in the fridge for at least two months.

If you have a milk frother pour some in there with your milk and make a baileys latte, delicious.

Those of you mixing with thing like vodka, does it not curdle?

Over ice or with chambord (chambord kiss)

1 measure of Bailyes and 1 measure of disaronno = The Gilbert.

WTF is the shoe all about?
It's from the mighty boosh, which was a very silly comedy show with noel fielding (of bake off fame)

Large glass filled up with baileys, add ice.

@lomoloko

It's nice in hot chocolate.
This is the only way I drink it.
AintNobodyHereButUsChickens · 08/01/2022 20:08

I have some caramel Macchiato coffee pods. Would it go nicely with that? 🤔

You can try out a version of our national shot drink, The Springbokkie.

In a shot glass pour half creme de meth or peppermint liqueur, then the Baileys on top. We use Amarula but Baileys works well too.

On ice with equal parts amaretto.

WhatIsThisPlease · 08/01/2022 20:13

Drink with ice then keep in the fridge once you've opened the bottle.

pinkpanther84 · 08/01/2022 20:13

Definitely with ice, sipped not downed
