Hey, Reader!

Let's talk Baileys.

This brand of creamy liqueur is probably the most popular, which is why you commonly hear Irish cream referred to as simply "Baileys." (And there's no apostrophe, grammar nerds.)

Irish cream is basically just what it sounds like: a cream liqueur made with Irish whiskey. It adds a sweet creaminess (and a touch of booze) to cocktails, coffee and more! Dairy-free friends, fear not. Look for Baileys Almande for a non-dairy alternative.

March is the perfect time to try out this creamy delight. It works well in cozy recipes and refreshing sippers for whatever weather the month has in store. Not to mention, it's a great option for celebrating St. Patrick's Day (even though it's not green).

If you want to make your own Irish cream, it's pretty easy. But you can also use Baileys in any of these recipes! Here are some of my favorites:

baileys white russian

Coffee + cream go together like, well, coffee + cream! Although the white russian is already a creamy cocktail, swapping some of the cream in the recipe for Baileys gives the drink an extra boozy, creamier makeover. Yum!

baileys hot chocolate

Adding Irish cream to hot chocolate is my favorite way to elevate the iconic drink! It makes for an even creamier, boozy version of the original that will keep you warm until spring settles in for good.

baileys iced coffee

A coffee cocktail is a perfect afternoon pick-me-up! This spiked coffee is refreshing and oh so easy to make at home. Use your favorite cold brew and a bit of Baileys for a concoction that is way better than the coffee shop.

baileys whipped cream

This homemade boozy whipped cream is the easiest way to add a touch of Irish cream to any drink or dessert! You can customize the level of flavor and booze to fit your tastes.

baileys chocolate chip cookies

Baileys, in a cookie? Yes, please! The Irish cream liqueur infuses a touch of coffee, chocolate and Irish whiskey flavor right into the cookie dough for anytime you're craving a boozy treat.

I can't wait to hear what you think of these recipes! If you try one out, hit 'reply' and let me know how you like it!

Cheers!
