What is Baileys?
Baileys is an Irish cream liqueur made with Irish whiskey and dairy cream. It has a smooth, rich pour and a sweet, creamy flavour with coffee and cocoa notes.
In Ireland and elsewhere, it’s commonly served neat, over ice, stirred into coffee, or used in cocktails and desserts. It is an alcoholic, sugary drink rather than a substantial source of nourishment; its energy comes mainly from its sugar and fat, with only a little protein. For a less rich serve, pour a small amount over ice or add it to unsweetened coffee.

Frequently Asked Questions About Baileys
What is Baileys made of?
Baileys Original is made with Irish whiskey, cream, sugar, and flavourings such as cocoa and vanilla. Its smooth texture comes from blending the cream and whiskey so they stay combined, rather than separating like an ordinary cream-and-alcohol mixture.
How much alcohol is in Baileys?
Baileys Original contains 17% alcohol by volume. Its sweet, creamy flavour can make the alcohol taste less pronounced, so the smooth taste is not a reliable guide to how much alcohol you are drinking.
Does Baileys need to be refrigerated after opening?
No, Baileys does not have to be refrigerated after opening. Keep the cap tightly closed and store the bottle in a cool place away from direct sunlight, following the storage instructions and date printed on the bottle.
How long does Baileys last once opened?
Baileys can keep for a long time after opening when stored as directed, but use the date on the bottle as your guide. Discard it sooner if it develops an off smell, a curdled texture, or an unusual colour.
Can you freeze Baileys?
Freezing Baileys is not recommended. The cream liqueur may become grainy or separate as it freezes and thaws, so chill it in the refrigerator or serve it over ice instead.
Can Baileys curdle in coffee?
Yes, Baileys can curdle in coffee, especially if the coffee is very hot or particularly acidic. Let freshly brewed coffee cool slightly before adding Baileys, and stir it in just before serving.
What can you mix with Baileys?
Baileys mixes well with coffee, hot chocolate, milk, and chocolate-flavoured drinks. Avoid adding citrus juice or other strongly acidic ingredients, which can make the cream separate and spoil the drink’s smooth texture.
Can you put Baileys in hot chocolate?
Yes, Baileys works well in hot chocolate. Stir it in after the hot chocolate is made and just before serving; prolonged heating can affect the cream’s texture and make the liqueur’s flavour less noticeable.
Is Baileys whiskey?
No, Baileys is a cream liqueur, not whiskey. It contains Irish whiskey blended with cream and sweet flavourings, so it tastes creamier and sweeter and is served differently from a straight whiskey.
Can you drink Baileys past its best-before date?
It is safest not to drink Baileys past the date printed on the bottle. Cream liqueur can change in quality over time; discard it if the date has passed or if you notice an unusual smell, colour, or texture.
