Baileys. I put that sh*t in everything.
St. Patrick’s Day wouldn’t be the same without a healthy half ounce (at least) of Baileys Irish Cream. Baileys is the perfect blend of whiskey, cream and chocolate for a not-to-sweet liquor that is great over ice or mixed with other spirits for a fun cocktail.
Over 75% of the raw ingredients and packaging used to make and present Baileys is sourced from the island of Ireland – so indulging in some is a must on the greenest day of the year. The whiskey is Irish Whiskey supplied from a number of distilleries, so you’re supporting Irish economy and if you’re concerned with sugar: the sugar comes from sugar cane and sugar beet – nothing artificial here. Convinced yet? Let’s get to mixing!
