Frequently Asked Questions About Baileys Irish Cream
What is Baileys Irish Cream made of?
Baileys Irish Cream is made with Irish whiskey, cream, spirits, and sweeteners, with cocoa and vanilla notes. Its creamy texture and dessert-like flavor come from the combination; it is an alcoholic liqueur, not simply flavored cream.
How do you drink Baileys Irish Cream?
Baileys Irish Cream is commonly served neat, over ice, or stirred into coffee. Pouring it over ice is a simple way to serve it after dinner, while coffee makes a warmer, less dessert-like drink.
How much alcohol is in Baileys Irish Cream?
The original Baileys Irish Cream contains 17% alcohol by volume. Its sweetness and creamy texture can make the alcohol taste less prominent, so treat it as an alcoholic drink rather than a cream-based soft drink.
Does Baileys Irish Cream need to be refrigerated?
No, an unopened bottle of Baileys Irish Cream does not need refrigeration. Store it away from direct sunlight in a cool place, and chill it before serving if you prefer it cold.
How long does Baileys Irish Cream last after opening?
Baileys Irish Cream has a stated shelf life of two years from bottling, whether opened or unopened, when stored as directed. Check the date and storage guidance on your bottle, and discard it if its smell or appearance changes.
Can you put Baileys Irish Cream in coffee?
Yes, Baileys Irish Cream can be added to coffee, and it is a popular way to serve it. Stir it into the cup shortly before drinking; avoid boiling it with the coffee, which can affect its creamy texture.
Can you freeze Baileys Irish Cream?
Freezing Baileys Irish Cream is not recommended. The cream-based mixture may change texture as it freezes, so chill the bottle in the refrigerator or pour the drink over ice instead.
Does Baileys Irish Cream curdle in drinks?
Yes, Baileys Irish Cream can curdle when mixed with acidic ingredients such as citrus juice, or added to very hot drinks. Add it shortly before serving and avoid sour mixers to keep the drink smooth.
Can you cook or bake with Baileys Irish Cream?
Yes, Baileys Irish Cream can flavor desserts such as frosting, cheesecake, and chocolate truffles. Add it in moderation, since its sweetness and creaminess affect the recipe; heating it for a long time can change its texture.
Can you drink Baileys Irish Cream while pregnant?
No, Baileys Irish Cream is not suitable during pregnancy because it contains alcohol. Its creamy taste does not make it alcohol-free; choosing a non-alcoholic drink is the safer option.

What is Baileys Irish Cream?
Baileys Irish Cream is an Irish cream liqueur made with Irish whiskey and cream, with a sweet, rounded flavour often associated with cocoa and vanilla. Its smooth, velvety texture makes it feel closer to a dessert drink than a dry spirit.
It is commonly served chilled or over ice, after a meal, and is also mixed into coffee or used in desserts in Ireland and around the world. It is relatively rich in both energy and carbohydrates: 100 g provides 327 calories and 25 g of carbohydrates. For a lighter serve, pour a small measure, or add a little to coffee rather than making it the main drink.
