Baileys Espresso Cream 1L

Product Information

Looking for the best value alternatives to Baileys? Our Irish cream liqueur taste test reveals the tastiest cheaper tipples to buy this Christmas. Country cream is a cheaper alternative to Irish Cream that typically substitutes whiskey for other alcohol types, such as wine, fermented alcohol and spirits, and has a lower alcohol content (around 12% ABV): The original Baileys is a liqueur mixed with cream, cocoa and Irish whiskey. It’s remarkable over ice—trust me. Baileys Espresso Creme takes everything that’s wonderful about the original and adds in something extra: real coffee flavor. It’s the perfect combo of coffee, cocoa and creamy Baileys. I’m sold! I plan to pour a little in my coffee for extra coffee flavor. All of the Irish Cream liqueurs we tested scored well for flavour, so it's worth trying cheaper alternatives wherever you shop. But some had the edge over others. Here's how they scored: The first time I had Baileys was on a plane en route to Las Vegas for my friend’s birthday. As the flight attendant handed me a small cup of coffee with a sizable hint of Baileys, I took a swig and knew I’d be hooked. The popular Irish cream liqueur has been around since 1974 and still holds up to this day. You can bake with Baileys, add a splash to your coffee or hot cocoa, or even enjoy a glass by itself.

This espresso martini recipe with Baileys is practically foolproof. There’s very little that can really go wrong but here are a few pointers: The star of the show in this espresso martini recipe is of course the Baileys Irish Cream. I’m a self-confessed brand snob when it comes to certain alcoholic drinks and I’m afraid Baileys Irish Cream is one such brand I’ve yet to find a close rival for. A classic espresso martini contains espresso coffee, vodka and coffee liqueur in varying proportions. The coffee flavour is pronounced and the best versions have only a hint of sweetness about them. Dip the outeredge of the rim into the glass, gently turning the rim.All you need is the outside of the glass to be covered, not the inside.
