I don't like Baileys - what can I drink?

Pony ..the little drink with a big kick!

Sherry is nice. My friend likes mulled wine but I find it even worse than Baileys.

Baileys is nice poured over good vanilla icecream.

I like a very dry sherry, Tio Pepe, but probably wouldn't drink more than one.

I have quite a few bottles of Bailey's given as gifts, but I'm afraid they rarely ever are finished. I will take one camping in the summertime to have with coffee. Somehow having a liqueur in your morning coffee is excused if you are sitting in the woods. Ha ha!

I quite like a mixed drink with cranberry, soda and vodka. It can be mixed quite tall so as not to over indulge.

We also have here cranberry ginger ale; it mixes well with a dark rum or whisky and a slice of lime.

I’m not a fan of Baileys , it’s too sweet .
I prefer White or a Provence Rose and Fizz . Or gin and tonic but I prefer plain clean gins rather than the fruity flavoured ones .

A good mulled wine is one of my favourites. For something more refreshing, how about an Aperol spritz? Aperol prosecco and soda with lots of ice.

I love an Aperol Spritz but I consider it a summer drink .

I like white port, particularly Chip Dry.

I was only saying to current DH, I might get some Baileys this Christmas as an after dinner drink, as long as it’s got copious amounts of ice.

I am not a big spirit drinker, more wine and fizz

I'm not much of a drinker, but I do think Tia Maria is lovely.
Is you like coffee that is.

Dry white port used to be good, and was used instead of sherry in portugal as sherry was an import and cost more. Chill the port and we found it very good

I can't stand Baileys and am baffled why people get excited about it. If we ever get a bottle in go straight to the next raffle as a prize. I only drink red wine, prosecco and the occasional rhubarb and ginger gin mixed with ginger ale. A snowball is lovely during the festive period. My Grandma always opened the Babycham served in Babycham glasses complete with glacé cherries at Christmas. She didn't drink the rest of the year.

We make Sloe and Damson Gin, a lot gets given in Christmas Hampers to friends and relatives

Damson is quite sweet, Sloe medium, both very moreish.

My favourite malt is Cardhu.
I hope to have a wee dram over Christmas 🤞

I like a glass of Marsala, or Vin Santo, if I'm feeling rich, in the morning. An Amarone or Barolo with lunch and Asti Spumante with the pudding. Amaretto afterwards. The Christmas cake has been thoroughly laced with Amaretto too. I loathe Baileys and all the other cream liquers.

You and me both! How about Amaretto? You would have to like Almonds. I also like Edinburgh Rhubarb and Ginger Liqueur, poured over ice cubes.

I expect I'd like both those J52

Thank you everyone for all the suggestions. I feel very unadventurous when I stick to my chilled, fairly sweet, rose.

Brandy and babycham! Or Cherry B. Happy memories.

Cointreau over ice. Remember the sexy Christmas adverts?
' The ice melts...'

Or Glayva, again over ice, no mixers. Very warming.

Nice port with cheeseboard.

Brandy and Babycham?

I usually only drink white wine, or soda and lime if I'm driving.

Cheers, m'dears!

For an aperitif, Ricard or Pernod. After the meal, Armagnac or an Islay malt.

Yes, Lagavulin or Laphroaig malt for me but an Armagnac a very close second. None of the sweet stuff!

I agree with Esmay. All these liqueurs are too sweet for my palette nowadays..
I prefer something slightly bitter.
Gin and tonic with ice and fresh lemon. It must be proper tonic and not any of this low calorie saccharine stuff..

Brandy and ginger is excellent to stop sea sickness and whisky for a cold.

When I was first allowed to drink alcohol I loved a snowball or a Baileys. Harveys Bristol cream (sherry) seemed so sophisticated.

I also like a decent port.
(not white)
Or King's Ginger is nice in the winter
And a cozy single malt (lots to choose from).

What type of things do you actually like that isn't what you have already mentioned kittyleicester?

Fruity, sweet, bitter, tart, creamy???

For an aperitif, Ricard or Pernod. After the meal, Armagnac or an Islay malt.

If you want something 'christmassy' and a change from your usual tipple Tawny Port has a definite christmassy taste.

If you are at someone’s home it might be a bit awkward asking for fancy cocktails. I quite like Amaretto too, the Aldi equivalent is just as nice. Or gin and tonic or wine.
Or a nice cup of earl grey tea.

Cocktails are quite fun! Vodka martinis and Mojitos are two I like.
