How do you drink Baileys?

[AintNobodyHereButUsChickens]

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?

Make a baby guiness
Mmm

Hot chocolate, with coffee, on its own with ice, I love the stuff.

Favourite for me is a slug on hot milk but do be careful!
It's spring drinkable and you can't see how much your having!!

Without ice. In a spirits glass. From the fridge

In fact I've just had one :)

I once used it instead of milk making pancakes. Best pancakes I've ever eaten

I tend to drink it neat straight out of the fridge, or in hot chocolate.

The AI hotel in Malta we stayed at a few years ago had a 'sweetheart' cocktail. Milk, coffee liqueur and bailey. Went down far too easily!

I usually just keep a bottle in the fridge and have a small (ish) glass of it, with something savoury because it is very rich.

What really? I’ve both in the booze fridge, I can’t imagine that?

Ice got a cheaper Lidl own brand version in my hand right now, I squirted M&S chocolate cream on top, yum.

With ice
In hot chocolate or coffee
With milk
Over ice cream
Basically any way I can

Could someone explain about the shoe?

It's a reference to The Mighty Boosh. There's a weird character called Old Gregg who asks "have you ever drank Bailey's from a shoe?"

@Bluntness100

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.

Erm...I beg to differ 🤣🤣 I can definitely drink a tumbler full 👍👍🥰🥰

CaptainCallisto At uni an old housemate once made us all chocolate Angel Delight with Baileys instead of milk - best chocolate mousse ever!

From a shoe

Mmmm creamy beige

Baileys is amazing with ice but also nice in coffee - one of my favourite drinks!!

Thank You for reminding me about my Christmas present. Just poured one over ice ,hopefully I will sleep better tonight

I prefer to eat it in a cheesecake

Not a shoe, a boot. Chilled.

What you don't want to do is buy a bottle each and then sit by the fire drinking it on ice until it's all gone, because when you try to get up, someone will have stolen your feet.

Says my "friend"!

in a tumbler with ice
Substitute for milk in coffee
poured over ice cream

Does it keep? I've had an opened bottle in he cupboard for a year. DH says it goes off.. I say it's fine. Who is right?

Please come back and tell us what you thought. I want to get out of bed for a baileys now.
