Copycat Bailey's Irish Cream - how to make it at home

- This replaces an earlier version, made a little better with better ingredients. This is a smooth, slightly sweet drink with a delicate flavor of whiskey. Note: I live near Costco where I can buy a 1.75L bottle of Kirkland Signature brand Irish Cream Liqueur (supposedly made by the Bailey's company) for about $15. It's good, but when I want something special to share with friends who come to visit around the holidays, I make my own.

ONE IMORTANT TIP
If you use cheap whiskey it will curdle. It depends on the acidity. The cheaper stuff has a lower PH. I used to bartend - that's why I know this.
Interesting!
Dude! THANKS man!
what if is use moonshine, should i water it down or leave as is?
what is it in cheap whiskey that causes it to curdle?
Do you thing that Johnny Walker Red label is too cheap?
I made a batch and it really does taste like Baileys. You’d be hard pushed to tell the difference if you didn’t know.
I like the recipe, simple ingredients, and simple instructions. It's going in my recipe folder.
After I started drinking Carolans Irish Cream, I find the Baileys has a more chemical taste to it. I can't describe it, and it's been a while since I've tried some. It would be interesting to have a taste test with all the different brands of Irish Cream and see which ones have the best flavor.
@@P-B-G_YT If you are wanting a good taste-test of the store bought, definitely get a bottle of McGuires. It's very cheap and to me it has more flavor than baily's with no chemical taste. Dugans is similar.
@@P-B-G_YT I saw a video on that here on YT awhile back. They tested Carolans & Baileys against 2 homemade recipes; 5 people were the judges. All was in unmarked bottles. All 5 judges preferred the homemade recipes. I thought that was very interesting. Sorry, I don't have a link or remember the channel. Cheers!
I love a dash of coffee in my cup of Bailey's!😁😁
Think the faces should be cross eyed! 🤣🤣
'Whiskey' is a Gaelic word that translates loosely to, 'nectar of life.' Just FYI. I frequently use it as coffee creamer.
Excellent substitute for milk, though perhaps not first thing in the morning.
It literally means "water;" the word is derived as a part from the Irish Gaelic translation of the Latin phrase "aqua vitae," meaning "water of life," and which was the generic expression for alcoholic distillates. That's because the expression was carried over to Ireland by the Catholic monks who brought the art of distillation to the island, along with their religious practices, from the birthplace of both: the Eastern Mediterranean. But the Irish monks both turned the phrase into Gaelic and created a new spirit altogether.
@@peterbrown6224 On days off, perfect coffee creamer first thing in the morning :P
Panagiotes Koutelidakes 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Panagiotes Koutelidakes thank you for that
I made a quart of your brew this morning and put some in my daily coffee routine. This recipe goes on an upper cabinet door. BTW, I used Jameson's Black Barrel to get the right amount of Irish in the mix. Top Shelf......especially for breakfast.
Please remember that Bailey's is not just for breakfast. Feel free to enjoy it any time.
Yes. Please have one in the Evening as well.. Minus the coffee. Thanks
I remember my 6th grade Irish teacher always walking around with what I now think was Irish coffee. Poor thing she was so shaky n run down looking. I love Bailey's but it's so expensive. I'm definitely going to try this. DRINK RESPONSIBLY PEOPLE!!!
I was given a recipe for Irish cream about 25 or so years go and I have to say it pretty much mirrors that one, the only difference is that we don't have the half and half in Australia so I just use pouring cream. My problem with it is it just tastes so damn yummy that it doesn't last long. One tip I was given is to use a good quality whisky.
I had some Bushmills aging in my cupboard. I followed your instructions and it turned out great! The almond was a pleasant surprise. You've turned me on to a new xmas tradition. Many thanks.
Made this last year and it was a big hit with the neighbors, Just made my first batch for this season up coming Holidays. Thanks again for your video. Cheers, I'm drinking a glass as I write this, soooo good.
I made this recipe last week. I used Canadian Wiskey as it was 4 bucks cheaper than Jameson. I used the half and half and whipping cream. Before you add the booze whisk the booze in slowly and keep whisking until it’s all in. Whisking in small steady streams as seen on the video. I used the no name chocolate syrup, you will find this beside the nestle quick in most stores. It tasted better the next day and days after. I also preferred to use more coffee to taste. Fridge life should be a few weeks, I am on 2 weeks. When you take it out of the fridge just lightly tip the bottle to move the liquid around, don’t shake it, like crazy. This stuff only gets better with time and it is comparable to the name brand. You might never buy it again and only make it yourself.👍🏼
Thanks for the detailed comment. The additional information, especially from first-hand experience, should be very helpful to others. A very good comment. Much appreciated. --Dennis
Saving $$?
Thank you for the video. It looks simple enough to make. I will definitely try to make my own because I love Bailey's but it can get pricey store bought. You are enjoying your Bailey's drink so much at the end of the video that I was wishing it was me savoring it. LOL 😄
I love Baileys in warm coffee... Thanks Dennis for the variety of your recipes.
Thanks Richard. I've been doing so much keto lately, I needed a break. This was a smart choice. -Dennis
I love warm coffee in my Baileys🙃
"Half and Half" is 10% cream and "Heavy Cream" is 36% cream, or thereabouts depending on where you live. I can't wait to try this recipe.
Thanks for the tips, I’m from Australia and haven’t seen or heard about half and half...🤔
I think Half and half is what we call single cream, and heavy cream is our double cream.
I am from sri Lanka we dont get good cream whether single or heavy.
I thought 50: 50 cream and milk.mix?
@@kirsteneasdale5707 You 100% sure on that?
WOW, now I know why they say Baileys has a lot of calories. 😋
The way you enjoyed that drink, makes me want to have one too!💗🌹⭐ You are a very good teacher 💖
Thank you for explaning what half and half is. We don't hve this in the uk. Wish we had. And, thank you for telling us how we can make our own. Americans really are blessed. You are very good at teaching. Thank you.
So glad this popped up on my recommended! Cheers! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Bailey s ..all ...52... Fridays !
I’ve loved Tod’s recipe for this for years! I always bottled it up real pretty & gave for gifts. I LOVE adding Club Soda in my glass about 1/2 way & finishing the rest with this Irish Cream. Deeee-lish...
Made it with instant coffee but added 1 cup of whiskey instead of 1.5. SOOO GOOD!!! WOW! THANK YOU!
Omgosh I'm making this! Thank you easy to understand appreciate that you gave both measurements!
Where I live, Bailies is about 45.99 per bottle 750ml. I'm trying this!!!!
Shazara D 45.99 what? Rupees, pounds, riyals, pesos? Surely not USD.
Washington state has a 20% Liquor Tax and a 3.77/Liter Tax. I think it's the most expensive state to buy liquor in.
A 750ml bottle of Jim Beam can run you almost 30.00 in some places here.
750m of Baileys is approx £15 in the UK
Delcellashaw I paid a tenner before Christmas.
@@vondahe its not going to be pounds sterling as its worth more than the us$. Its Like £14.99 in the UK so about $19.50. Equivalent so yes its expensive at $40 plus. Aldi does one in UK for £4.99 but with wine not whisky, its ok.
This is my kind of upload!! Thank you!!
Thanks for this outstanding video!
I can’t wait to make this. Thank you.
I wish someone would make me some Bailey's for Christmas. I love Bailey's and I'm subscribing now. Thank you for the recipe. 😁
What a nice, informative man. I will definitely make the as soon as possible. Thank you.
Thanx for using metric measurements also. First recipe I see from you but I will follow your channel.
Thank you for this video, I'll have to make this, I love Baileys.
I never knew that Bailey's had such a complex flavour profile, I thought it was just whiskey and cream. I'm looking forward to making this.
Same here tbh.
Just made a batch and it was good, really good. I will make this again (and again, and again).
Love Baileys with Coffee...really appreciate this recipe ( :
Yes it’s your voice. Mild and soothing.
Now that is one recipe I would love to make, love me some Bailey's on ice
Thanks for the feedback. I am patiently waiting for that bottle to chill in the refrigerator. I'm looking forward to it. -Dennis
Thank you for the video. Turned out amazing..
well done ! Excellent idea for Christmas presents !
I would take this over, eggnog anytime.
put some in the eggnog it is gooood and a shot in your coffee, also goooood
Thank you!
Excellent. Just tried this recipe. Thank you.
Is there alcohol in it
Used to make our own similar version in the 1990's in SAUDI ARABIA the base was siddiqi which is effectively Poteen to the Irish or moonshine to the yanks. Our recipe also included raw eggs and it was fantastic.
Cheers Dennis. Gonna make a batch of this. I am going to try it in the freezer and call it a slushy or a frozen shake. Yum
You had me curious. I put a small cup in the freezer more than an hour ago. I wondered if there was enough alcohol to act like antifreeze. It froze almost solid. I am now eating it with a spoon, like ice cream. Thanks for the idea. -Dennis
keep the vids coming my friend. Greetings from Edinburgh scotland
This looks delicious Dennis. I plan to make some this summer. I've made Irish cream before but my recipe called for instant coffee. This version looks much better. It's a lovely color in the bottle. Thanks for sharing! Enjoy your Bailey's!
Thanks Mea. If I had instant coffee I would have used it, in keeping with the recipe in Todd Wilbur's book. The substitution worked well enough. -Dennis
I've been making this Bailey's recipe for more than a decade and it taste as good as you would imagine. Same recipe (Instant Coffee) I just use a Blender instead of whisking. Great Share!
Wow. Its the real Terry Lopez.
Thank you for this. It's delicious. You made a wise choice going from Hershey to Ghirardelli.
Lolsss yess Ghirardelli is only way to go!! The Ghirardelli chocolate melts are way good on pretzels! I’m excited to make this for New Years! 🥰
Thank you so much for sharing this!
You have a good day Sir !!
Delicious. It’s great that you can drink it the same day, unlike infusions.
I made this today. It tastes great.
Looks really good
Great upload thanks for sharing.. I can see how tasty it is by your smile.. Lol.. deffo trying this thanks again
You made my xmas sweeter, whisk is key
A+ presentation !
Cool! Thanks for this! I occurred to me watching that you might help with the settling problem by dissolving the chocolate syrup into the hot coffee/water.
Melanie David possibly, somewhat. But the reason it settles in homemade versions & not in commercially prepared is because Bailey's et al add a bunch of gums & stabilizers, probably a whole chemical shitstorm of additives & preservatives.
Personally, I can deal with giving a bottle a shake before pouring. I'm willing to sacrifice all the added garbage. 😉
But...to each their own.
Great recipe will have to try it! I live in the UK and I guess that half and half would equate to our 'single cream', while heavy cream equates to our 'double cream/ pouring double'. I often use double cream to make mousses and in those recipes I always have to refrigerate the mixing bowl and whisk attachment in order to whisk at length without the mix turning to butter. I also make butter, where I leave all at room temperature. The potential to curdle comes from overheating, either form over-vigorous mixing or warm ingredients/ equipment.
I was thinking the same ... we call it single and double
WoW thanks for the stupendous recipe. I love the Irish cream drinks. Just recently I had to quit all dairy. Generally I drink Ryans, I don't care for the Costco stuff. I'll save this recipe for "cheater" days. I subscribed as I see lots of other recipes you have made. Thanks.
I like the Costco Irish Whiskey more than Baileys!
Fabulous!!
My husband like Irish cream in his coffee. I’ll try this recipe.
Thank you, Dennis. I normally do not like whiskey and this looks like I will like it.
I'm not a whiskey fan either, but it tastes good in this mixture. -Dennis
My wife doesn't drink much but she loves this.
I love those pop top bottles, I first encountered them in Germany. They were filled with German bier. Prost!
You should list your ingredients on you description at the bottom of your video. Ps. It looks yummy and I’m going to try it!! 👏🏻
This is actually wonderful with abit of hot water added to it too.....try it, it’s yummy 😋
For those interested, I found a place to download the PDF with the recipe: white-trash-cooking.com/pdfs/Baileys_Irish_Cream.pdf
Thanks.I made once or twice with dissolved chocolate ice cream and whisky mixture.
you go Todd, you enjoy that Irish Cream, and thank you
MERRY CHRISTMAS And a HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM OREM,UT.2020 just around the corner.🗽🗽👍👍
vern wallen Merry Christmas to you
So I substituted the dark chocolate with white chocolate made white chocolate Irish cream it came out so good, I also substituted cookies and cream creamer instead of half and half and cookies and cream sauce instead of chocolate my daughter (36 year old) is a cookies and cream connoisseur she loves it .
I copied the instructions yesterday to make my Christmas supply. No half and half in the UK but sorted milk / cream blend. Nice one Dennis 👍⚒ A lush drink 🤪
Great job! Thanks for letting me know, Mark. -Dennis
Love this
Very nice!!
Thanks for giving the metric equivalent all the time
Thank you. Blessings
When you buy Bailey's you are paying for advertising. There are many brands at half the price. Carolans is my favorite.
sly pen - Carolans is my favorite also! Nice sipping' this time of year! (I prefer mine straight up at room temperature rather than chilled).
I like Carolans too, but it tastes just a little thinner than Baileys to me.
Aldi's brand is made with white wine not whisky. The name brands are more expensive for a reason, not just marketing, they use a better spirit.
Baileys I like it because of the taste & also the thickness while other creamers are not as thick honestly kinda watery compared to Bailey's.
I use alcohol free Bailey's creamer for my coffee..
I paid $15 for the last bottle of Baily's I bought, not sure one can complain about the price. Baily's is superior.
Amazing👍😍.. Will surely try it
Thanks a lot 😊
Several months 🤣are you mad I'd be lucky to get two nights out of that on my own🤣😉
I agree, but when I open a litre bottle i have to drink it all in a night mmm
Catherine ! tsk tsk tsk....you are my shop steward !You speak for us !
Same thought, what you stated was simply hilarious.
a variation of this is to put the can of sweet milk in the oven and turn it into caramel
I'm trying this!
OK - first things first. What you _should_ have done I'd to have put the condensed milk in the bowl and then used the hot coffee to rinse the tin out nicely.
Jamesons❤️ only the best. Mellow and sweet
I use straight heavy whipping cream. Maybe try 1/8-1/4 teaspoon of coconut extract also my guest like the flavor 😉
very classy
I love it in coffee! Its the only time I drink coffee 😉
Fantastic Dennis love this 😋👋👋👋👋🇿🇦
Thanks so much. Much appreciated. -Dennis
Great stuff
You can flavour this by substituting a bit of Amaretto or Sambucca, or Triple-Sec for some of the Irish Whiskey.
In my morning coffee, I I put heavy cream or H/H or whole milk and a drop or two of liquid mint. You could, if you like, add some Bartels and James. Curdling fan be overcome with a blender.
We’ve made this several times for years ,warm up your sweetened condensed milk in the opened can in some water ,very low boil ,never thought about the coffee,sounds good, this is soooooo much better than store bought,You’ll never buy store bought again ,we use Captain Morgan’s Rum ,Makes A Great Gift ,Thank You For Your Video!!!
Awesome 😊 thanks.
Ya, I love 💘 to make my own liquior's. I've been doing it by myself sense i was 8 years old the day after Halloween from left over candy from 6 children. I also make flavored beer with candy and or coolaide with budweisher preferably. I only buy certain liquors because the candy is so hard to find that is vanilla smirnoff and whipping cream smirnoff. Ya, Christmas is u great time to celebrate making liquior. Dena Marshall
Thanks for sharing. No curdling 🤷♀️
Hello. We are thinking of trying Hershey's Special Dark chocolate syrup on our first go.
I can actually say mine is proper home made because I made the spirits that goes in it :D
You distilled your own? Top Man.
"I picked a bad time to quit drinking."
I don’t drink either. I miss Bailey’s so much! When I have slipped I did buy a few of those tiny bottles, though. 😞😃😮😛 But we could make this without the whiskey and make a mocktail!
"Airplane!"
Davey Bernard 🤣😂🍸🍷🍾
Delicious 🙏
thought the whiskey was a pun, after you pulled out the whisk! 😆
I made this for New Year's and just tasted it. It is good. However, if like me and Almond flavors are not your thing leave out the almond or only use a half teaspoon. I didn't think I would be able to taste the Almond but I could.
i love baileys
Me too Quaffie. I like a glass a little before bedtime. -Dennis
Well done make it wow I know taste how is baleeys wishky giod make dear
Fantastic video - any idea how much that bottle of homemade ended up costing you - can't wait to try it out, as I refuse to buy another very large bottle of Baileys at $52 Cdn per bottle - cheers
I used Craig's Rye Whiskey... Oh Baby!!! 🤣 It's sooo good!!!
Hey, can I use cocoa powder or melted dark chocolate instead?
So I only had rum, and no chocolate syrup and only normal cream. I melted 1 tablespoon of butter, used 120ml of cream and the next 120ml's of cream was a mix of milk and cream and the melted butter. I sifted in 1 tablespoon of coco powder and its like a chocolate baileys, I wasn't looking to duplicate baileys exactly just wanted something like it, and I am really happy with how it turned out.
thanks Mobile home gourmet
Use what u got Bob. Great ideals.
That same 1.75L bottle of Kirklands cost $40.00 in Calgary Alberta Christmas 2019, $10.00 less than Bailey's Irish Cream that sells for $50.00 for a 1.75L
