Also, when mixing Baileys with juices, curdling of the cream can occur, which will give an unsightly appearance to the cocktail.
A rare representative of the fair sex will remain absolutely indifferent to the aroma and taste of cream with vanilla, caramel, coffee and chocolate. And men take advantage of this: a woman who is being looked after is treated to cakes a la tiramisu, delicious ice cream and fragrant cappuccino. It is not for nothing that the period of courtship is called “candy-bouquet”. Although, perhaps, soon this stage of the relationship will be called “bouquet-baileys”, because Baileys liquor is becoming a popular attribute of seducing a woman.
This drink combines the aroma of vanilla cream and caramel taste. At the same time, unlike standard sweets, it also burns, making the eyes burn, the cheeks glow, and the heart beat a little faster.
True, according to the rules of etiquette, it is forbidden to give women alcoholic beverages, but Baileys is on a special account. After all, it is perceived more as a dessert than as strong alcohol. Moreover, do not be shy to stock up on Baileys liquor if you are expected at dinner.
Baileys is good, of course, not only as a gift to a woman. It is perfect for any feast, regardless of the occasion. Especially if there are many women at the table. However, men are also not averse to treating themselves to delicate Baileys liquor, although there are not so many fans of this drink among them. Or maybe men simply do not want to openly admit their love for Irish cream liqueur, considering it a feminine drink?
Baileys is one of the most famous alcoholic drinks in the world. In our country, they often write “ Baileys', although this is incorrect. It is correct to say and write "Baileys" with the letter "c" at the end.
Baileys is an Irish liqueur made up primarily of cream and Irish whiskey. In addition to cream and whiskey, refined vegetable oil, vanilla, caramel, sugar, and cocoa are used in the manufacture of Baileys liquor. There are varieties of Baileys liquor, which may include mint, coffee, etc. The liquor does not contain preservatives. Cream does not spoil due to perfect mixing with alcohol.
Naturally, like all liqueurs, Baileys is sugary-bitter-sweet. Baileys liquor has a strength of 17%.
Baileys is the first cream liqueur. He appeared in 1974. Later, other manufacturers began to produce creamy caramel cream liqueurs, but they did not achieve such fame and popularity as Baileys. And now let's talk about how to drink Baileys liquor, what to drink Baileys liquor with, what cocktails you can make with it.
First of all, you need to keep in mind that Baileys is a liqueur, and liqueurs are usually served after dinner as a digestif.
A digestif is a drink served at the end of a meal. A digestif is opposed to an aperitif, that is, drinks served before meals. And if an aperitif serves to improve appetite, then a digestif is for better digestion. Traditionally, liqueurs are served as a digestif.
Baileys liqueur can be served on its own or with dessert, especially if ice cream and / or coffee is served for dessert. Back in the 19th century, it was customary to offer liqueurs with coffee after lunch or dinner. And the creamy liqueur Baileys just asks to be supplemented with a scalding strong drink. Baileys is served with coffee, ice cream or other dessert in special liqueur glasses.
A liqueur glass is a stemmed glass similar to a wine or martini glass, but smaller. As a rule, the volume of a liqueur glass does not exceed 25-50 ml. In liqueur glasses, liquor is served in its pure form.
You can invite guests to add Baileys directly to coffee instead of cream. This is now actively practiced. However, this is an option for informal events. Don't forget that Baileys is sweet, so don't put sugar in your coffee.
If Baileys is combined with anything at all, it is served in larger glasses - for example, in a wine or martini glass. Baileys can be served with ice cubes or crushed ice. Top liquor can be sprinkled with cocoa powder or grated chocolate. In addition, you can put a strawberry in each glass or decorate the edge of the glass with it.
Can Baileys be served directly with food? You can, of course, if we are talking about an informal dinner. However, it is worth considering whether the sweet creamy caramel taste of Baileys liqueur will be combined with the taste of the food served? Baileys may be good if served with meat with cream or berry sauce and fruit and vegetable salad, but it is definitely not worth serving pasta with seafood or serving it. In general, liqueurs are not served during a meal precisely because they interrupt the taste of dishes, and this is unacceptable for gourmets.
Baileys can be the main drink if it is a sweet table or sweet.
As already mentioned, Baileys liqueur can be served with ice (with a large amount of ice - cubes or crushed). In addition, Baileys liqueur is sprinkled with cocoa or grated chocolate on top. Baileys is served mainly with dessert, but if you want to drink liqueur with friends or with your soulmate not after dinner, but at any other time, you can serve it with fresh strawberries. Strawberries with cream - a famous delight!
In addition, Baileys goes well with the taste of a banana. Bananas can be cut and chopped into skewers to make banana skewers. And you can quickly prepare a salad of strawberries and bananas. Easy and quick to prepare banana boats: bananas need to be peeled, cut in half lengthwise, take out part of the pulp with a spoon to make “boats”. You can fill the recesses with different fillings (depending on tastes and what is at home): for example, cream cheese mixed with taken out banana pulp and powdered sugar. Or nuts chopped in a blender and mixed with melted chocolate.
Can be served with liquor and dessert with ice cream. For example, break ordinary shortbread cookies, crush nuts a little, chop berries (cherries or strawberries) and mix all this with slightly softened ice cream. Put the ice cream in bowls and sprinkle with grated chocolate or cocoa. Dessert is eaten with a spoon, washed down with Baileys liqueur.
The taste of Baileys goes well with the taste, but any other coffee dessert with buttercream will do. Served with Baileys and marshmallows.
If you feel like snacking, make a fruit and berry salad using any fruit and berries that you have in your home. Dress the salad with sweet yogurt or cream.
In no case should you mix Baileys liqueur with carbonated drinks, because. the reaction of the liquor will be unpredictable (the cream may curdle). Mixing with juices is also not recommended. However, this does not mean that Baileys cocktails impossible. On the contrary, this creamy liqueur is perfect for making amazingly delicious alcoholic cocktails!

"Baileys Irish Cream" won the hearts of millions of people on the planet thanks to its wonderful aroma, as well as its softness and tenderness of taste.
Description. This alcohol of cream color and creamy caramel taste contains 17% pure alcohol, and sugar - 20 grams per 100 ml. It must be stored at a temperature not exceeding +25°C. Shelf life, subject to temperature conditions, is 2 years (regardless of whether the bottle is open or sealed).
Produce drink in Ireland, a country famous for its mild alcohol. This is done by R&A Bailey & Co.
Short story: in 1970, David Dand, together with a company from Gilbeys of Ireland, decided to create a new alcohol. They decided to make it tender, soft and tasty, not too strong and completely natural. The solution came immediately: cream and whiskey tasted amazing, but the combination was not sustainable. Four years there was a struggle to create a super liquor formula. And the solution was found. November 26, 1974 in one of the suburbs of Dublin appeared a homogeneous mixture of cream and whiskey, which was flavored with vanilla, caramel, sugar and chocolate. Thus, David Dand first received a patent for a new alcohol, and then registered a new firm, R&A Bailey & Co. She introduced the liquor to the judgment of the whole world.
Production technology. Kept secret. Each batch is subject to quality control. All components in the liquor recipe, including additives, are only natural, Irish-made. Preservatives and artificial colors are not used.
Types and varieties: In addition to the classic creamy Baileys, as well as coffee and hazelnuts, in 2005 the company's assortment expanded with two more types. Mint-chocolate and creamy-caramel liqueurs appeared, which became no less popular than their earlier counterparts.
Application. Baileys is so handsome that he found himself in many manifestations. Mind-blowing cocktails are prepared from it, mixed with other alcohol, added to coffee instead of sugar and cream, to numerous desserts: cakes, pastries, ice cream, cookies, and even fruit salads. It gives any product that comes into contact with sensuality and luxury, comfort and tenderness. It is not advised to mix it only with tonics, sodas and citrus juice (from acids and gas, the cream in the liquor can curdle, and the drink itself will lose its velvety melting taste).
Contraindications: liquor should not be drunk by those who have not reached the age of 18, who have serious diseases of the liver, kidneys, digestive tract, central nervous system, as well as if you cannot tolerate whey protein, are pregnant or breastfeeding.
How to drink correctly: as an independent drink, Baileys is drunk from liquor glasses in a barely chilled form (the bottle is rarely cooled, for example, in extreme heat). If it is served with ice, then the volume of dishes changes, and the drink is served in wine glasses or for martinis. Liquor is a digestif, that is, it is served at the end of the meal, along with dessert.
What to eat. Liquor is not eaten. But it is perfectly complemented by ice cream, desserts (including jellies, milk and cream soufflés, etc.), bananas and strawberries, chocolate, marshmallows, cookies, peanuts or cottage cheese.
Baileys at home is prepared without problems. Of course, we will give here not the original recipe of the manufacturer, but in terms of taste you will not distinguish liquor from branded liquor, unless you are a professional taster.
You can easily use liquor prepared by yourself in cocktails (except puff ones, because the density of homemade liquor will be somewhat different from the factory one), as an additive to desserts, coffee, or as an independent alcohol. However, be careful, homemade liquor should only be stored in refrigerators, and of course not for 2 years. That's 5-6 months is quite possible. But it is better not to store for a long time, but to prepare a fresh drink if necessary.
We will give you several recipes for this wonderful liquor, and in each of them you will come across some points that you can adjust at your own discretion:
Before we offer you a pretty quick imitation of Baileys, we will write down a recipe that needs to be fiddled with, but everyone who used it was absolutely delighted with the result.
The cooking technology for this recipe will go in two stages.
Make brown caramel out of sugar. We introduce ginger, cinnamon, vanillin, honey, pharmaceutical oak bark into it. Gradually pour alcohol into the caramel mass and keep it all for about a week (5 days is possible). Shake the suspension daily and filter at the end.
In a bowl, beat the yolks with half of all the cream, continuing to whisk slowly add condensed milk and coffee, then the remaining cream. Pour alcohol into a homogeneously whipped mass in a stream and beat for the last time. Stir in the vanillin mixture and refrigerate for three days (without bottling). Collect excess fat from the surface of the liquor, and the rest of the drink must be filtered through a cotton cloth and bottled.
If you are not able to bother with the preparation of liquor for so long, then use simpler, but no less spectacular recipes that are just as good for desserts, ice cream, coffee and cocktails as the previous one.
