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.

I like a glug in coffee to accompany a mince pie.

Benibidibici · 25/11/2023 07:04

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

Thank you for RUINING IT FOR ME.

Has your maths been drinking Bailey's?

I think it's your reading comprehension that's been on the Bailey's..

(I nearly made the same mistake myself...)

MassageForLife · 25/11/2023 07:06

I don't know if they still do it, but what I like better than Bailey's is Tesco's salted caramel equivalent. It's divine!

I've not managed to try Aldi's as it was never in stock when I was looking for it.

Christmas milk. I start adding to the weekly shop from late November and store in the fridge.

Shutthedoormargaret · 25/11/2023 07:10

Yes @wishingiwas20something I call it Christmas milk too. Bloody love the stuff

KinS24 · 25/11/2023 07:20

Another Bailey’s hater here just for balance.
I still buy some every year for aunts etc and end up tipping most of it down the sink in about March.

Autieangel · 25/11/2023 07:20

Love baileys. Especially orange, mint, strawberry and cream and original.

I find the key to Christmas milk is a heavy ratio of ice to Baileys. I don’t have more than 2 large. For me it’s taken as an end of night/post meal liqueur.

GuitarGeorgina · 25/11/2023 07:29

Vile stuff

JudyGemstone · 25/11/2023 07:38

My friends brother has baileys on coco pops for breakfast on Xmas day as a tradition. I imagine that would be quite nice, might have to give it a go this year!

Luckydog7 · 25/11/2023 07:46

There's a caramel one in sainsburies thats just gone on my list. It is surprisingly alcoholic but having it warm is a great idea!

LunaTheCat · 25/11/2023 08:01

Ohhhh… I am too scared to buy a bottle now. Baileys on ice got me through my finals!

Andylion · 25/11/2023 00:49

Do you have to store in the fridge once opened?
(Makes note to pick some up for tomorrow night.)

I don't know. It's never lasted that long 🤣

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

I don't know if I should be angry at you or very grateful for this information Hmm haha

PiggyFlounce · 25/11/2023 08:09

I am very fond of Bailey's and all the products with Bailey's in them but I'm going to be a bit controversial here and say that Aldi's Ballycastle is even better. Especially the Clementine and white chocolate flavours.

Ohmych · 25/11/2023 08:11

Oh yes the Bally castle is amazing. I love the white chocolate one the best.

PullTheStringsAndAddSomeRings · 25/11/2023 08:12

Revolting, sickly, overly sweet rankness in a glass. It can get right in the bin (along with hot chocolate).

Tiddlywinkly · 25/11/2023 08:14

I miss the Bailey's Biscotti one. So sad that didn't stick around.

Someone mentioned Bailey's Glide!! I'd forgotten about those. Didn't they come in a little 4 pack? I drank one while watching SATC. Happy days

stillholly · 25/11/2023 08:18

Anyone know the calories in a serving?

Reallynotoverreacting · 25/11/2023 08:26

The Lidl version is much nicer, the chocolate one especially.

legalseagull · 25/11/2023 08:27

Having hated baileys all my adult life I've just discovered it is AMAZING in a hot chocolate

Echobelly · 25/11/2023 08:30

Basically Xmas is the one time of year we get a bottle of Baileys - it's awesome in hot chocolate.

Naptrappedmummy · 25/11/2023 08:31

Doris will you join us in a mint baileys for Christmas Grin

YANBU. Although just pipped by Glayva which I love and have a shot most evenings in winter. It’s a whiskey infused with honey and spices and is very warming. Would recommend to anyone who needs a slight lift on a winter evening

What???????? This cannot be true! Surely, it's 300 cals per bottle...
