Bailey's Original Irish Cream Liqueur Bottle 17% Vol 1L
Irish Cream Liqueur
Baileys Original Irish Cream Liqueur is one of the world's most recognisable cream liqueurs, bringing together smooth Irish whiskey, rich dairy cream and notes of cocoa and vanilla in a velvety, indulgent drink. Its luxurious texture and balanced sweetness make it equally enjoyable served over ice, blended into cocktails or used to add a creamy richness to desserts and baking. With a gentle warmth from the whiskey and a smooth, lingering finish, it's a bottle that's as suited to celebrations as it is to relaxed evenings.
Beyond the glass, Baileys is a favourite ingredient for desserts thanks to its creamy consistency and distinctive flavour. It blends beautifully into chocolate ganache, cheesecakes, coffee drinks, ice cream and buttercream, while pairing naturally with dark chocolate, espresso, caramel and hazelnuts.

Why does Baileys pair so well with coffee?
The creamy texture softens the natural bitterness of coffee, while the notes of vanilla, cocoa and Irish whiskey complement roasted coffee flavours. This balance makes it a popular addition to hot coffee, iced coffee and espresso-based cocktails.
Can Baileys be used in baking without losing its flavour?
Yes. While some of the alcohol cooks off during baking, the characteristic cream, chocolate and vanilla notes remain, making it an excellent addition to cakes, brownies, cheesecakes and dessert sauces.
What flavours work best with Baileys Original Irish Cream?
Baileys pairs particularly well with dark chocolate, milk chocolate, coffee, hazelnut, caramel, vanilla, salted caramel and fresh berries. These combinations are widely used in desserts and cocktails because they complement its creamy, smooth character without overpowering it.
