Baileys is one of my favorite drinks and I love every twist you can do with it. I was so excited when I figured out how to make Bailey’s Irish Cream at home! Whenever I bond with my friends, it is what we always drink, I remember our reaction when we first tasted the Irish Cream Liqueur, you can say we were pretty hyped about it. Imagine the taste of chocolate with a hint of coffee, then a kick of whiskey, isn’t that enough to pique someone’s curiosity already? This Christmas, my friends decided that they would come over and visit for a mini-reunion and I decided to try and recreate our favorite drink just to go back to the old days because it has also been a few years since we’ve tasted this drink together.

Lucky enough for me, it wasn’t that hard to look for tutorials as there are a lot of videos available online, but I got drawn to a specific recipe that I found on YouTube, one by cuoredicioccolato. What I love about his tutorial are its simplicity and clarity, it didn’t show any unnecessary steps or ingredients, only what you need. Well, I’ve always loved anything traditional and classic anyway, so I guess that could be one of the reasons why. This Bailey’s Irish Cream recipe is a perfect St. Patricks Day recipe idea to make for a party, but also one I love to keep around all year round.
