How do you drink Baileys Original Irish Cream?
Baileys Original Irish Cream can be served neat, over ice, or mixed into drinks such as coffee. For a simple serve, pour it over a few ice cubes; too much ice can dilute its creamy texture and flavor.

How long does Baileys Original Irish Cream last after opening?

What is Baileys Original Irish Cream made of?

Can Baileys Original Irish Cream be used in desserts?
Yes, Baileys Original Irish Cream can flavor desserts such as tiramisu, cake, ganache, and ice cream sauce. Do not assume cooking removes all the alcohol, especially in desserts that are served without baking.
Can you freeze Baileys Original Irish Cream?
