FAQs

Should I put Baileys or Kahlua in coffee? ›

However, which one should you choose from the two of them depends on what you typically like to eat/drink. If you're looking for something sweet with chocolate notes, Baileys is your best bet. On the other hand, if you're looking for something creamy with coffee notes, Kahlua is your best bet!

While tipping drinks down the sink so that the bottle can easily be recycled is the standard procedure, you don't want to do that with Baileys, as trade experts say it could "wreak havoc" with the pipes under your sink and cause serious blockages, tradesmen at MyBuilder.com explained to the Irish Mirror.

The Kahlua alcohol percentage is around 20%—slightly higher than Baileys alcohol content which is typically 17%. Kahlua and Baileys are versatile liqueurs that make delicious co*cktails when combined with other ingredients.

Diageo has reintroduced the coffee creamers as part of the Baileys licensing agreement with Danone North America, which has also given the brand a packaging overhaul.

Manufacturers of cream liqueurs point to the effective preservative qualities of alcohol as the reason that refrigeration is not required. Baileys™ guarantees it's product for 2 years from the date of manufacture, opened or unopened, and suggests a storage temperature range of 0-25˚Celsius.

How can I prevent Baileys from curdling in my coffee? To prevent Baileys from curdling pour Baileys into the cup first, then slowly add coffee. Using coffee that's not too hot can also help.

Baileys can be easily mixed with all manner of beverages to make a simple, creamy drink. The only rule is to avoid citrus or anything with a lot of citric acid, which makes it curdle. That means avoid juices and soda.

Baileys is 17% abv - which makes it stronger than even quite strong wines. Most seasoned drinkers would be noticeably drunk after a 750ml full bottle of wine - so not only is Baileys stronger than wine, a 1 litre bottle is bigger than a typical wine bottle. A litre of Baileys is a lot of booze.

Alcohol is high in calories. It contains around seven calories a gram - almost as many as fat. And the calories in an Irish cream liqueur don't just come from the alcohol – it's high in sugar too. A 50ml glass of Irish cream liqueur contain 153 calories – about the same as a large chocolate biscuit.

They are not units of each other. If you're concerned about alcohol, it depends on the beer. Baileys has an ABV of 17%, so 2 shots would have about the same alcohol volume as a twelve ounce 4.2% beer.

What is a cheap alcohol like Baileys? ›

Saint Brendan's Irish Cream

It's a great substitute when you want something more budget-friendly than Baileys, but still retains the liqueur's desired chocolaty notes and creamy body.

The two are reasonable substitutes for one another, and both use dairy cream, though there is a distinct flavor difference. Where RumChata has a cinnamon-vanilla flavor, Baileys Original includes chocolate and vanilla notes, and the Irish whiskey definitely gives it a darker background.

The world's first cream liqueur created in 1974, now the world's most-loved spirit. Our indulgent blend of aged Irish whiskey and luscious Irish dairy cream, with hints of cocoa and vanilla, is loved the world over and sold in over 160 countries.

BAILEYS™ Coffee Creamers are ultra-pasteurized providing a longer shelf life when unopened. However, we recommend you consume BAILEYS™ Coffee Creamers within fourteen (14) days of opening but no later than date stamped on label.

Instead of milk, add a drop of Baileys Original Irish Cream, or use your favourite flavour of Baileys if you're feeling creative – they're all just sooo delicious in a hot cup of coffee! Stir it together and add whatever toppings your heart desires – a little whipped cream always hits the spot.

HOW TO MAKE. Into an Irish coffee mug (it's a thing – look it up), or heat resistant mug, add Kahlúa coffee liqueur, Jameson Irish whiskey and your favorite hot coffee. Spoon the whipped cream on top and garnish with grated nutmeg ('tis the season!)
