Baileys Coffee
I was not a fan of coffee until I had a Baileys coffee. Didn’t like it. Thought it was bitter. Couldn’t understand why people drink it. And then I had a Baileys coffee and I now can’t imagine not having coffee.
That’s how yummy this is. I like Baileys. And now I also like coffee. But a Baileys Coffee brings out the best of both Baileys and coffee.
I found a page with drinks and desserts you can make with Baileys. Might even give some of them a go.
Do copycat versions of Baileys work well in this coffee? Yes they do. They all taste slightly different. But as far as I can tell they all work well for a “Baileys” Coffee.
