How do you drink your Bailey's?

This 'thing' for Bailey's has passed me by but I'm determined to try harder so - how do you drink your Bailey's? What sort of a glass, with ice, without, with something else?

And does it actually have an apostrophe?

We add a slice of orange to sherry with ice gg - lovely.

Will try that tomorrow whilst I am preparing lunch.

This was in the OP. No one has commented, and we are on page 3.

Does it matter?

Not really!

Bailey's doesn't need to go in the fridge and will be fine for 2 years from the date on the bottle. The alcohol is a preservative. Don't throw it away, cook with it if you won't drink it.

My children have led me astray on the Baileys front - thankfully

Pittcity Is that if it hasn't been opened?

Even when opened.
Store between 0° and 25° is the storage instruction on the bottle.
It'll separate if it's gone off. We can easily polish off a bottle here so it's never come to that!

We keep it in a cold pantry.No ice, and drink it in a sherry glass, otherwise we would get through it in a few nights.
Do this with advocaat too.

From a mug so that if the vicar drops in I can pretend it’s cold coffee. ???

Where I come from...... we pour the Bailey's on ice then a Hennessy brandy shamrock relax and swirl around every now & then.

My bottle once opened will only last a few days so I don’t worry about it going off. Drink mine when in Asia in a wine glass with ice, now at home in the winter I drink it neat, in coffee or even in my Horlicks

Mine never goes off can finish a bottle in a week. Usually have it neat, over ice or added to black coffee. Will definitely try with Xmas pudding that sounds a great idea.

Should have said my friend makes a great Baileys Tiramisu.

Witzend Sun 12-Dec-21 09:30:08

Not at all. Dh likes it, though - just neat.

Blinko Sun 12-Dec-21 09:34:38

In coffee and hot choc. A litre lasts me about four months. I’ve never had any go off.

Ailidh Sun 12-Dec-21 11:58:46

In any vessel you choose to give me. No ice.

Cfaz49 Sun 12-Dec-21 12:42:12

Baileys with a shot of whisky on ice!

ninathenana Sun 12-Dec-21 16:28:16

I don't, too sickly for me

Purpledaffodil Sun 12-Dec-21 17:29:21

Might make Baileys haters gag but it’s also good mixed with ice cold milk. Makes it go further too ?

whiskey tumbler with ice

Same here. Only at Christmas though.

paddyann54 Sun 12-Dec-21 17:52:16

Cant even pour it in a glass smells like sick.....I do like an Irish Mist whiskey liquer or a Benedictine over ice now and again .I dont really drink

Bridgeit Sun 12-Dec-21 19:42:25

It doesn’t have an apostrophe. ….so just drink away & enjoy ?
