For the best Baileys hot chocolate you need the double deluxe chocolate one.

In a good bottle. Absolutely gorgeous.

YABU - Baileys is disgusting.
I'll be sticking to champagne - and grabbing it protectively if anyone comes near with orange juice suggesting Bucks Fizz.

Costa have been doing an non alcoholic Irish cream flavour since the end of November and it tastes exactly like Bailey's! You wouldn't know the difference, I had to check that it actually was non alcohlic just in case as I was driving!

But Yanbu OP anyway! Its not Christmas without Baileys.

Also pleased to hear Amaretto and Coffee is nice as Ive always fancied trying that. Bet thats nice in hot chocolate as well.

Fr0g · 23/12/2019 18:13

not for brakfast, but ameretto in hot chocolate is good.

swlondonnanny · 23/12/2019 18:15

Home made egg nog in coffee is even better Grin

megletthesecond · 23/12/2019 18:16

No. Too much alcohol

Chocolate is ok though.

Wingedharpy · 23/12/2019 18:16

Amaretto neat is even better👍
Bottoms up folks.
Happy Christmas.

Not unreasonable at all - my 92 yo grandma does over Christmas Grin

NotAVirtue · 23/12/2019 18:51

Bailey's is a no but gingerbread rum is a yes

Calamity here. My Baileys is best before end of November 2019. Would you bin it or drink it quick?!?!

LaurieSchafferIsAllBitterNow · 23/12/2019 19:03

@boredorboard ABSOLUTELY.....it'll be fine, alcohol is a preservative remember!

NewName54321 · 23/12/2019 19:08

Perfect dessert: Ice cream with Bailey's poured over.

@LBOCS2 OMG LOBSTER CRISPS
Where do you get these beauties

Shake it (in case it has started to separate) and taste a little. If it seems ok, it will be ok - it's a Best Before not a Use By date.

LBOCS2 · 23/12/2019 19:22

Berry, I picked them up in Iceland when I was getting a Christmas pudding (GH winner 2019 - let it not be said I don't do my research for my guests!)

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 23/12/2019 19:24

I've got two bottles of Prosecco in my fridge. I think about cracking one open then I think......nah.

mepan · 23/12/2019 19:31

It's also nice in French toast Xmas Smile

CodYe · 23/12/2019 19:31

Baileys in porridge? WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE.

Question... what does the M&S trifle liqueur taste like?

NoParticularPattern · 23/12/2019 19:36

Is it not basically the law that you should include alcohol in as many forms as possible over Christmas? We’ve got eggnog, baileys, all sorts of liqueur creams (sorry I can’t tell if that’s spelt right any more. It all looks wrong now), best spirits and all sorts on the go.

We don’t even usually drink but I don’t think I’ve got past 12 without something alcoholic for the last week 😂

NoParticularPattern · 23/12/2019 19:36

NEAT spirits. Probably need to take more water with it if I’m honest

BillyAndTheSillies · 23/12/2019 19:53

Happily offered my DS(3) a miniature Lindt bunny with his breakfast this morning, it must be Christmas.

Maybe I'd had too much baileys in my morning coffee....

cataline · 23/12/2019 20:38

I didn't even bother with the coffee this morning. Just had a big glass of Baileys with ice!

Babymamaroon · 23/12/2019 20:51

YANBU unless driving. Enjoy!!

baileys in bunny is a great breakfast

aynsleyred · 23/12/2019 21:05

Boredorboard definitely drink it. It’s a best before not a use by date. Cheers!

I love Baileys in a coffee, lush! Totally wish I had a Lindt reindeer to pour some into now, tempted to steal one of my daughters little Lindt bears......she’d never know......
