Liquor Baileys or Baileys: what is it?

Baileys is one of the most famous alcoholic drinks in the world. In our country, they often write “ Baileys', although this is wrong. 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.

Baileys liqueur: how to drink?

When and how to serve Baileys liquor?

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.

Baileys liqueur: what to drink with?

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 liquor 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, cut 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!

2. Liquor goes well with bananas. Ripe fruits can be cut into rings or skewers. If you have time, make a fruit salad using bananas and strawberries.
3. Some serve Baileys with banana boats. Bananas are peeled, cut lengthwise and some of the pulp is removed using a spoon. In the resulting dimples put a filling of banana pulp, powdered sugar and cream cheese. You can add grated chocolate and chopped nuts.
4. Often, the liqueur is offered with an ice cream-based dessert. To prepare it, put softened ice cream, chopped berries, crushed nut kernels and shortbread crumbs in a small container. Stir, transfer to plates and sprinkle with cocoa.
5. Baileys is combined with cakes, marshmallows and coffee desserts, which include buttercream.
6. If you want a little snack, prepare a salad of fruits and berries. Chop fruits and take whole berries. Stir and dress the salad with yogurt.

Now I will tell you what you should not combine this liqueur with. The list includes carbonated drinks and natural juices.
