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 can't stand Bailey's i think it's foul 🤢

I have a sweet tooth but I find it just so claggy!
I do like an amaretto and coke though which is equally sweet I suppose

Ice sorts that out, or neck it

Baileys hot chocolate is the best 👌 also Baileys latte, it adds joy to either of these in the winter 😋

FlipFlopVibe · 25/11/2023 10:10

I'm not a huge fan of it but then I tasted Disaronno Velvet! Amazing, it's not as thick as Bailey's and stronger I think. Soooo good whilst Christmas present wrapping Grin

I make a rather lovely chocolate martini - equal measures of Baileys chocolate, Baileys salted caramel and toffee vodka. Put in cocktail shaker with ice and shake. Drink. Don't plan on doing anything else!

Adore Baileys, bought two on the Nectar offer. Another recommendation is a good slug of Amaretto in a mug of hot milk. This is like drinking hot marzipan.

the80sweregreat · 25/11/2023 10:13

I like the chocolate one they do
With some cream and marshmallows
A real treat

Mongrelsrbeautiful · 25/11/2023 10:13

The 1/2 fat one is foul.

SpringingJoy · 25/11/2023 10:14

LOVE Baileys. In coffee or over ice.

I'm pretty much teetotal most of the year but over the Christmas season I tend to have a Baileys (or multiple) most nights.

tothesea · 25/11/2023 10:21

My mum is a bit like the young barman.. serving big tumblers of Baileys with ice. Any protestation ‘ah sure it’s good for what ails ye’. 😂
I don’t really protest

AHeadForHeights · 25/11/2023 10:29

Hotel chocolat Irish cream is nicer. Bailey's is too sharp in my opinion. I also like that sidekick stuff - they had some strawberry cream liqueur; I topped it up with milk and squirty cream and it was delicious.

StuffLoriThangs · 25/11/2023 10:46

It’s nice….but it’s overrated.

Im on the non-alco this year. No baileys for me

It’s milk/cream btw (sometimes with a skoosh of syrup for coffee and some skirts cream on top).

you’re welcome

YANBU. The drink of gods.

Gulbekian · 25/11/2023 11:11

Yes, this was brilliant. I'm not a Baileys fan but a little part of my soul died a little when this was discontinued. I used to love it on a warm mince pie at Christmas.

Gulbekian · 25/11/2023 11:12

(Something went wrong there. I was talking about Baileys Hagen Dasz ice cream.)

Gowlett · 25/11/2023 11:31

Baileys Ready Whipped Cream is amazing.
Don’t think it’s available in the UK, though!

Seeyounextweek · 25/11/2023 11:39

No

plominoagain · 25/11/2023 11:41

A litttle slug of baileys in the hot chocolate when you're getting into bed in the morning after your last night shift on an icy morning . Glorious .

PTSDBarbiegirl · 25/11/2023 11:43

I have a couple with ice (obviously) every time I watch Strictly. I am a big fan of the Baileys comforting wonderful nectar.

CornTheCob · 25/11/2023 11:44

I agree. I have just had six bottles of it delivered with my shopping as it was on offer at a tenner a bottle.
Two for Christmas presents and the rest for me.

RegeRegeRege · 25/11/2023 11:54

When I was younger we’d occasionally go to a local pub with my Nana for a Sunday lunch & the lovely barmaid always did my Nana a bowl of vanilla ice cream & crushed malteasers with Baileys poured over the top for dessert, it was her favourite.

She always got a bottle for over Christmas (and any other time she fancied it) and so, as the only other person in our family to like it, I picked up the tradition & raise a Baileys over ice to her every Christmas Eve.

HighlandCowSaysBooNotMoo · 25/11/2023 12:01

Bailey's coffee...YES

Also... the Lidl version is even more epic than the branded Baileys. The dogs danglies.

staceyflack · 25/11/2023 12:03

Ooh... just had a thought on the back of the Nigella Tiramisu. Baileys Banofee anyone? I expect its already a thing. Huge fan here.

LadyMacB · 25/11/2023 12:44

I sometimes wonder whether it’s possible to get pissed drinking solely Baileys, or whether you’d vomit from all the cream first. But yeah, it’s awesome.
