Baileys Original Irish Cream Liqueur

Pros: Wonderfully tasting versatile liqueur!
Cons: Where do they come up with the names for these shots!

Bailey's Irish Cream first made it's public appearance in 1974 and has become a very popular liqueur both to be sipped alone and as a mixer.
Each bottle of Bailey's is 50% fresh cream and has been combined with a triple distilled Irish Whiskey. This...

Pros: Deliciously creamy and frothy

As if you didn’t already know, our fellow author/reviewer, LYNUS is hosting a wonderful write-off about movies entitled: “I’m Going Crazy Write-Off” AKA “The Greatest Movie Ever: April Fools! W/O…” What a fabulous idea!

...

Pros: Hmmm, it's creamy
Cons: Too sweet and sickly

Baileys Irish Cream is not normally a drink I would buy, but you know how it is at Crimbo, you rummage around in your stockings and have a feel at the goodies (or is that just me?). And lo and behold, there's always a bottle of something-or-other ...

Cons: might be a bit soft for any hell-raisers out there, costs a bit

Well, this being my second essay in the space of a week, some of you will now collapse and die of shock. This is an unfortunate fact, because in the midst of my meanderings, I am going to deliver the shout-out to end all shout-outs (with the exception of...

Pros: Sinfully delicious, smooth and simply irresistible.
Cons: High in calories, high in price!

It's no secret, I absolutely love Baileys. So much, in fact, that I named my cat Bailey! He preferred tuna, of course, and turned his nose up in disgust when offered a few drops of my favorite liqueur, which probably helped him live to a ripe old age....

Pros: A great addition to some very tasty drinks
Cons: A hangover with this stuff wouldn't be pretty

This is a write off between myself, that_guy, marvienhill and slow. Remember, after reading this and verifying that I, LadyCynic, am the clear winner...I suppose you could go and try to read their lame attempts. <eg>

Before I get...

Pros: Fuzzy
Cons: Slow claims it is weak

The door is locked, and there is no escape. You look into the depths of darkness to suddenly be blinded by a neon "E". Your pupils make a quick adjustment, and you notice four strangers in the corner of the small room. The first stranger...

Pros: Good for coffee drinks and sweet mixed drinks
Cons: It's slimy and has an awful aftertaste that won't back down

One of the more curious liqueurs that caught on is an odd little drink called Irish Cream. Bailey's Irish Cream has been flying off the shelves for more than three decades now and I can't figure out why. A Strange Idea In ...

Pros: Many different drink and dessert recipes. Especially tasty in coffee.
Cons: High in calories.

Jimmy Buffett is known for the saying “It’s 5 o’clock somewhere” and that’s pretty much true any time of day. For me, that would be on Saturday mornings. A little homemade Starbucks coffee and Baileys Irish Cream is a wonderful way to start the day. ...

Pros: Tastes good, versatile
Cons: May be a little too sweet for some tastes

Baileys' Original Irish Cream is a wonderful and very unique liqueur. Made of 50% fresh cream, Irish whiskey, other Irish spirits and natural flavors, Baileys' is a smooth, somewhat potent (34 proof) drink, with the subtle taste of...

Pros: Keeps you warm at night
Cons: Not a woman

So Ladycynic, Marvienhill, Slow, and that-guy walk into a bar. We all order a Baileys' Irish Cream shot, except for Marvien who's underage (as it turns out, despite SmartGrl's assertions, Marvien must be my younger...

Pros: Great mixer.
Cons: Horrible to drink in mass quantities.

This liquor is very sweet and creamy to taste. I love it in several mixed drinks. It almost makes drinking like having a good dessert. Compared to dessert it is almost like having a mousse pie or silk cake. Very smooth going down.

...

Pros: Smooth, rich, no unpleasant after effects.
Cons: Expensive.

December 12 marked a new event for me; I finally had an amount of alcohol larger than the few fractions of an ounce I'd had at one time or other over the years. Despite being of German descent (3 generations removed from my great-grandparents in ...

Pros: YUM - smooth, versatile. Did I mention versatile?
Cons: A bit more pricey than others.

How could I leave epinions with my ideas on McCormack’s and not try to do Bailey’s justice as well?
