historically always been a fan of Baileys but it doesn't seem the same these days. they had run out of baileys today so bought amarula instead.

much much better.

Anyone agree?

Amarula = nectar of the (elephant) gods.

Huwipulotu · 22/12/2023 21:10

Coole Swan's better than both.

Yes, absolutely! Thanks for reminding me it even existed, I don't see it much anymore and just reach for the Baileys.

I am a fan of the flavoured Baileys (and Aldi knock offs) for Christmas though! We have Aldi's chocolate cherry for Monday.

This is not possible. Soz.

@NeverDropYourMooncup

I saw that but hadn’t heard of it. I am fully prepared to assess this competitor.

I love baileys but dislike amarula

Prepared to try any pretender to the throne but yes, Amarula is King 👑

Cool Swan is not as nice as Baileys, but homemade Irish Cream is better than Baileys, I make it every year.

Would you mind sharing your recipe?

Rum Chata is better than both slaps down gauntlet

I've just discovered vegan Amarula and it's absolutely gorgeous! Cut out dairy 3 years ago and had really missed Baileys over Xmas.

Amarula is better, not least because every South African you ever meet will tell you that elephants & monkeys get drunk when the marula fruit has fermented.

Not true, but quite a nice idea!

This! Rum Chata is literally Christmas in a glass!!

Amarula is lovely, but I see it more as a summer drink. I’ve brought it home from trips to Africa for decades. I love it. But Baileys is better. Especially at Christmas. You can’t put amarula in coffee, for starters.

Christmas in South Africa is in summer. So Amarula is perfect.Xmas Grin
