Baileys.

Both drink AND dessert.

EPIC.

Name a better drink I dare ya!

Starbucks should do Baileys Frappuccino. Maccy D should do Baileys McFlurry.

EPIC.

Has a vegan option that is also EPIC.

Goes well with cereal. Cos it’s EEEPPPICC.

YANBU Baileys is EPIC.

YABU I am in an alternate universe where Baileys is not EPIC, so this vote doesn’t count.

I will not accept the results unless I am YANBU.

Orange Baileys? Bleeeuurrgh!

gringot · 25/11/2023 01:15

The thought of alcohol with cereal is just plain EEE, forget the PPPIIICCC.

Feeling glad I don't drink anymore right now.

Baileys is great. Amaretto is better though.

RJnomore1 · 25/11/2023 01:18

Ohhh yessssss amaretto

It was epic till I discovered it is 300 cals for 100mls

a whole 750ml bottle of wine is circa 600!!!

Has your maths been drinking Bailey's?

No, it keeps at normal room temperature until best before date (and beyond) even if opened.

I keep mine in fridge because I like it cold.

Thanks. I have always kept in the fridge without knowing why.

bogbabe · 25/11/2023 01:43

In hot chocolate yep.

Ohmylovejune · 25/11/2023 01:47

Baileys is fab!

Try Malibu and milk with ice too. Yummy!

@idontlikealdi my brother used to make me Gorilla Snot when we were teenagers!!!!

@TheDandyLion It's correct. Nothing wrong with the maths.

wellerhugs5 · 25/11/2023 02:29

Try Baileys AND Ameretto.
You're welcome 🙂

Grumpynan · 25/11/2023 02:37

Baileys is epic, nothing to discuss

unless you want to mention baby Guinness

shot of tia Maria with Baileys floating on the top, now that’s beyond epic

I don't drink any more so can't drink it 😭 but agree re cheesecake etc. Baileys Latte coffee pods for my coffee machine are lush too. I used to love it drizzled over ice cream or cake too.

My sister always drinks a full bottle over the course of Xmas day and her birthday (it's a tradition!) and I must admit that's a little bit tooooo much Baileys sickliness 😅 but in moderation, god yeah.

Orange Baileys? Bleeeuurrgh!

Is like drinking a Terry's chocolate orange

TheChosenTwo · 25/11/2023 02:53

Yuck, gloopy, sticky and sickly. Not for me! You can have my share though.

egowise · 25/11/2023 02:56

Well, I was going to bed... Now I'm eyeing the Bailey's while a man I should not encourage is messaging me...

That sounds like the opening line of a good old-fashioned thriller - you must keep us informed!

I am having Bailey's and told him to fuck off, remains to be seen if I will awake in the morning

(Fully tongue in cheek 😄)

FedUpMumof10YO · 25/11/2023 04:46

Could you buy a McFlurry and then stick a shot over it ? Just a thought.

scrivette · 25/11/2023 04:48

My local garden centre sometimes make Bailies ice cream, it's amazing.

I love Bailies poured into a latte or over crushed ice or on its own.

I sometimes wonder how early is too early to drink it - would it be okay to have with a morning latte?! It's the best drink.

Marveladdict · 25/11/2023 05:01

There used to be a Häagen-Dazs Baileys flavour - that was truly epic 😋

MrsClatterbuck · 25/11/2023 06:34

They used to do a strawberry one in the summer. Beautiful over ice on a summers evening.
Got a 1l bottle for £10 in Sainsburys with my nectar card. The couple in front of me had six cartons of Baileys in their trolley. That's 36 1l bottles!!!

Smugandproud · 25/11/2023 06:50

I’m not a Baileys fan unless it’s in this cocktail
Baileys, vodka and amaretto over lots of ice.

lemmein · 25/11/2023 06:54

I nearly shit my pants one night after drinking Baileys....longest drive home EVER 😖

AllProperTeaIsTheft · 25/11/2023 07:00

Baileys is claggy and sickly; foul stuff.

This. It's like it was designed for children, but alcoholic. Like a kind of thick, sickly boozy milkshake! The only really sweet drink I like is amaretto, but only one little glass - I couldn't drink lots of it!
