Irish Cream Liquer

Looking to get people's opinions as I have made up my own.

Saint Brendan's VS Bailey's VS Carolan's VS anything else you want to add.

Re: Irish Cream Liquer

I don't drink it but my wife has always preferred the Bailey's over other brands. It is also the easiest to get in Mass and NH.

Re: Irish Cream Liquer

I've had side by side comparisons between Bailey's and Carolan's and while there is a slight taste difference there is a huge price difference as Carolan's (here) is nearly half price.

Re: Irish Cream Liquer

One thing in the favor of Carolans is that the unused portion of a bottle does not spoil as quickly as Bailey's.

Re: Irish Cream Liquer

The GF swears by Bailey's, and I've never seen a bottle of it spoil, as I guess the alcohol in it seems to preserve the cream...but then it usually isn't around that long anyway...

I make my own. Here is the basic recipe, tweak to taste

Bailey’s Irish Cream

3 eggs
2 tablespoons chocolate syrup
2 tablespoons vanilla
1 tablespoon instant coffee
1/3 cup water
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 cup whipping cream
1 ˝ cup Irish whiskey
1-2 tablespoon coconut extract

Blend in order

Beats the he!! out of Baileys! Of the commercially available products, I actually prefer the taste of Carolans myself, and has been posted earlier is usually quite a bit cheaper.

Re: Irish Cream Liquer

I've tried all three and really ones as good as the other in my opinion, mix them with coffee and I doubt anyone would know the difference.

Hey David, can you PM me your addy again, I have something of yours.

as for drinking with Coffee, never. I sometimes have a little glass of Carolan's or St. Brendan's on the rocks of an evening.
