To be sad that I’ve wasted £17 on a bottle of Bailey’s?

[GrumpyOldWoman2]

Bought a bottle of the chocolate Bailey’s today thinking it would cleanse my memory of downing a pint of Irish Cream when I was 14 (it was the only thing my parents had and I wanted to get smashed ) and throwing up everywhere. It did not. It still tastes like the original with a weird, very mildly chocolate aftertaste. I really wanted to like it as I’m a big fan of sweet liqueurs. Everyone else seems to adore it. I just can’t get past that horrid boozy taste!

Think I’ll give it to DPs instead.

The tesco cheap version is nicer and doesnt have that harsh boozy taste.

You are bu because l bought a litre from Tesco on Clubcard for a tenner .

Add milk to it! Longer and fresher.

I find it leaves a weird residue in my mouth. I probably need to wash it down with gin. 🤔

My first thought was £17?! It’s a tenner in Tesco!

I got it with my Amazon groceries (gives me 10% of my purchase as credit on my phone bill) 🥲

Put it in a coffee or hot chocolate. Its much better than drinking it straight

I find it very sweet and cloying and actually not boozy enough, but much improved by a decent slug or three of whisky. Unfortunately this will not solve your problem at all, OP.
Perhaps some ready-made chocolate milk might do the trick?

Has anyone tried the Hotel Chocolat Chocolate Cream? Was it nice?

Never liked Baileys.🤢
Much preferred Devonshire Cream, much nicer taste.👍

My favourite of all time is Drambuie.😃

I will try this and get back to you.

You should've bought a mini if you just wanted to try it!

Do you like hot chocolate? I hate cream liqueur but they tend to be quite nice added to a hot chocolate.

Put some tia Maria in a glass and then carefully pour some baileys on top. It’s called a Baby Guinness. But why didn’t you just buy a miniature?

original Baileys is still lovely but all of the other variants are inferior. The chocolate one is really rubbish.

If you can find anything like Penderyn Distillery's 'Merlyn' online, in terms of recommendations, then I think you'd like that much better than Bailey's.

I don't really like Bailey's. It's cloying and tastes odd, whereas Merlyn was fresh and sweet without being cloying. Honestly it was like a drinkable dessert, it was so good. Shame they discontinued it :( , as it was available in places like Tesco, but maybe there's other cream liqueurs out there like it.

Combine with frijj Chocolate milk

Apparently there is a terrys chocolate orange baileys this year. Now, if I still drunk anything, I'd go for that.

I used to use Baileys hot out the microwave when I had a sore throat from a cold. Better than any cough sweet on the market!

Or good glug in coffee with cream

Only full sizes on Amazon fresh.

I love baileys and I know my son has bought me a bottle for Xmas, which means I can't buy a bottle before Xmas which means I can't have any until Xmas night! So yabu to rub it it! 🤣🤣

Pour a slug over good vanilla ice cream. Tia Maria is good like this too.

ooh the hot chocolate suggestion worked! it’s rather lovely.

Baileys is shit since they changed the recipe…try Coole Swan - much nicer.

What?!?! It’s been discontinued??? 😭
