Homemade Irish Cream | BAILEYS RECIPE

I love me some whiskey, and for a special treat I REALLY love Baileys Irish Cream. But did you know that it's super easy to make your own Baileys? Baileys Irish Cream really is a simple combination of cream, Irish whisky, and (as they say on their website) "other flavors".

Those other flavors are hints of vanilla, coffee, chocolate, and Almond. Yes, you read that right, ALMOND. Adding just a touch of almond extract takes this home recipe and makes it indistinguishable from the store bought version.

**Commonly asked questions**

Is making Irish Cream less expensive than buying it:

It depends on where you live! Where I live, a bottle of Bailey's is roughly $18-$20. Jameson is $20-$22. if you double this recipe and use the entire bottle of Jameson, you get TWO bottles of Irish Cream out of it. (Yay, math!) Or, don't double the recipe and be left with half a bottle of Jameson to enjoy on it's own (Yay, whiskey!) The rest of these ingredients are very inexpensive, and many people already have them in the fridge/pantry. Also, you don't HAVE to use Jameson- if you're making this purely for the cost savings, use the least expensive whiskey available to you.

How long will homemade irish cream last:

Up to two months in the refrigerator (and yes it needs to be refrigerated).

Can you make this without alcohol:

I'm sure you can, I just have not tried it personally. I think experimenting with some of the non-alcoholic whisky offerings would be fun, and lend the right amount of spice and texture to this!

Why bother making your own?

Because some of us enjoy the process! Homemade liqueurs are an easy way to control the level of alcohol, sugar, and various other ingredients. Have fun with this- tweak to suit your own tastes!!
