Baileys Coffee is a rather pleasant variation on Irish coffee. And it’s easy to make: just substitute Baileys for your usual whiskey and you’ve got a tasty cocktail!

Baileys Irish Cream is a type of whiskey liqueur. For the record, Bailey’s is one of Ireland’s leading spirits. The brand is typically Irish, and the Irish have no shortage of imagination when it comes to using this liqueur in all kinds of sauces! Truffles, cake, cheesecake… That’s all it took for them to come up with the idea of creating a cocktail similar to that of Irish coffee!

The beverage’s sweet, slightly vanilla aromas make it a perfect match for coffee! This creamy whiskey contrasts sharply with the bitterness of a strong coffee and whipped cream! A true delight, surfing on the sweetness of taste.

The Irish usually serve it as an after-dinner drink, to prolong the meal and ensure a final treat before leaving the table. According to them, this type of cocktail improves digestion. (It’s a fine line between scientific fact and legend… We are therefore unable to verify this assertion).

Expect to pay around €5-7 in an Irish pub for a traditional Baileys coffee. But it can also be done at home! The recipe is simple and easy, and should impress your guests! The icing on the cake: it’s often less well-known than Irish coffee, which should surprise and interest your guests.

The perfect way to introduce them to another version of Irish coffee!
