Baileys: the rich and creamy liqueur that makes coffee or hot chocolate so much more delicious when you wake up to massive snow drifts and frigid temperatures that would even stop the Disney princesses from Frozen dead in their tracks. Finally...
With just a few ingredients, you can make a homemade version of Baileys that is leaps and bounds better than the stuff you'll find in the liquor store. But, that's not all! Get this: it's actually cheaper to make this Irish cream liqueur than to buy Baileys, which is pretty damn sweet.
If you're wondering whether or not you can substitute Irish whiskey with other liquors, the answer is yes. Try using some spiced rum or Grand Marnier for a hint of orange (think liquid, boozy versions of those chocolate oranges).
Making this at home is quite possibly one of the easiest things you could ever do in your kitchen, provided that you have a blender and some measuring tools. So, hop to it!
Homemade Baileys
Place all ingredients in a blender and blend on high for at least 30 seconds.
Pour contents into a large container or mason jar and let chill until ready to serve.
It's perfect on the rocks or splashed into your (weekend) morning coffee.
