Baileys, first introduced in 1974, is made by Gilbeys of Ireland and named after the Bailey's hotel in London. A blend of aged Irish whiskey and fresh cream with secret herbs, Baileys is a fun ingredient to experiment with in cocktails, or to liven up desserts, mix with coffee or hot chocolate, or simply enjoy on the rocks.
Ingeniously, the alcohol in Baileys will act as a natural preservative for the cream and a bottle will retain its taste kept on the shelf without refrigeration, even after opening for two years after bottling. |
