I've got a hangover just thinking about drinking Baileys with whisky Grin

cliffdiver · 12/12/2020 19:13

brandy not whisky, sorry.

AuntieMarys · 12/12/2020 19:16

I love a Corpse Reviver cocktail. Absinthe, gin, cointreau and vermouth

Hollyoakswatcher · 12/12/2020 19:17

I had champagne with brandy at a party quite a few years ago. Don’t know whether that’s unusual or not but I certainly would never have thought about putting them together. Would very much recommend though.

Prosecco with orange and cranberry juice.

Vodka, midori and orange juice.

Vodka peach snaps and lemonade

Whisky and irn bru.

Long vodka- angostura bitters, lime cordial and lemonade.

Kahlua and milk.

Liltibu- Malibu and Lilt. You can add a drop of voddy if it's not strong enough for you. I'm going to try it with some cointreau tomorrow. If you don't hear from me again, alert the emergency services

midnightstar66 · 12/12/2020 19:32

Baileys and sambuca make a great shot.

ArtfulScreamer · 12/12/2020 19:36

Baileys and creme de menthe tastes like an after eight Grin

AriesTheRam · 12/12/2020 19:38

Guinness and Tia Maria

Blackberrycream · 12/12/2020 20:14

Warninks and Prosecco. Posh ( 😂) snowball.

OneTC · 12/12/2020 20:16

Brandy and Bailey's is kind of like a knock off Brandy Alexander do should work well, if you haven't tried a brandy Alexander I'd highly recommend

We sometimes make a fortified kalimoxo, red wine, coca cola and jaegermeister with lots of ice

EasyAndy101 · 12/12/2020 20:19

1 ice cube in a tall glass, one shot of gin, 1 shot southern comfort, swirl until the ice melts a bit and then decant into shot glasses minus the ice

TrainspottingWelsh · 12/12/2020 20:21

Baileys and McDonald's chocolate or vanilla milkshake.
Vodka and Prosecco
Bombay sapphire and vodka based alcopops. (Gordon's etc don't work the same)

CremeEggThief · 12/12/2020 20:30

Baileys and brandy is well known of in Ireland.

Malibu and milk. Tastes like coconut milk.😋

That’s quite standard. Lethal though😂

Brandy and champagne cocktail is fab
Big favourite here particularly over the festive period x

Lactarius · 12/12/2020 20:57

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned Tia Maria and Lucozade

Sexnotgender · 12/12/2020 20:59

@Lactarius

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned Tia Maria and Lucozade
Because the thread was about alcohol combinations?
TrainspottingWelsh · 12/12/2020 21:10

@Sexnotgender Grin

Like an economy version of Vodka and red bull

AriesTheRam · 12/12/2020 21:10

DH used to get me a Baileys, Malibu and Whisky when we first started dating. Completely lethal. Also had one in Spain called an Orgasm - Baileys, Amaretto, vodka and coffee. Bloody lovely.

waterjungle · 12/12/2020 22:15

Variation on a theme. Sugar cube soaked in brandy dropped into champagne/ Prosecco.

Janaih · 12/12/2020 22:19

I worked in a nightclub when I was at college and BMWs (baileys, Malibu and whiskey) were very popular with the sailors.
