Homemade coffee liqueur – notes
Baileys is a delicious Irish liqueur, whose base is Irish whiskey and cream. Seemingly trivial ingredients, but their combination (with the addition of tasty aromas) creates an out-of-this-world blend. That’s why this liqueur has so many admirers. After drinking gingerbread liqueur, I was looking for new inspirations for homemade “with alcohol” production and stumbled upon Karo in the kitchen’s blog for a recipe for homemade Baileys. I must admit that it’s made exceptionally quickly, from readily available ingredients, and tastes just as good as the original.
How to make homemade Baileys liqueur – tips
Well, you will prepare the liqueur very quickly and without major problems. It’s great if you have a stand blender, then everything will take you a maximum of 5 minutes. If you don’t have such a blender, you can use a hand blender, or ultimately a regular mixer. If you use a mixer, first blend the sweetened condensed milk with heavy cream, cocoa, coffee, and vanilla. Finally, pour in the whiskey and just mix. You can drink it right away, but it’s better after 2-3 days, then the whiskey blends nicely with other ingredients and no longer dominates the taste so strongly. In addition – storing it in the refrigerator positively affects the taste experience. This homemade Baileys liqueur tastes best chilled! Before use, it’s good to shake the liqueur, because condensed milk tends to settle. I always vigorously shake the bottle and only then pour it.
What whiskey for the liqueur?
Ideally, it should be Irish, but nobody will be checking your labels, so you can use whatever you have. I most often use Queen Margot whiskey from Lidl here – it’s good for liqueur, and it’s well-priced. From a liter of this whiskey, you’ll get three almost liter-sized bottles of Baileys liqueur, so it’s worth it. From the given recipe, you will get about 900 ml of liqueur, with an “alcohol content” of about 14 percent. You can, of course, drink the liqueur on its own as a dessert accompaniment, but I love adding it to my macchiatto coffee. You must try how such a coffee “fortified” with liqueur tastes. It might not be exactly Irish Coffee, but it tastes just as wonderful :)
And among such “spiked” coffees, I also recommend advocaat latte coffee :)
P.S. I also recommend coconut liqueur – perfect for cupcakes.
