I love Baileys Irish Cream
They make a coffee creamer (non-alcoholic), too
And I love it in my coffeee for those non-alcoholic but still want the taste of Baileys moments
In the wee hours Friday night I had a craving for some Bailey’s. The alcoholic version. This is what I came up with.
[print_this]
Vanilla Baileys Slushie
1 shot glass of Bailey’s Irish Cream (about 1 ounce but 2 ounces is fine too)
8 to 10 ice cubes
1 splash water (about 1-2 tbsp)
Vanilla Stevia, to taste (optional)
And/or
1/8 tsp vanilla extract + sweeter of choice
Directions: Combine all items in Vita-Mix or blender and blend until ice is crushed and drink is frothy or slushie-like in texture
Note: Vita users are at an advantage because you are making Bailey’s “ice cream” in about 20-30 seconds in your machine <– buy a Vita if for no other reason than that

Gather your booze & sweetener, if desired. I always desire sweetener.
You can purchase Vanilla Stevia drops from iHerb cheaper than anywhere else that I’ve seen
If you enter code AVE630 at checkout, you’ll save $5 on your iHerb order and all orders over $40 ship free
Add the ingredients into your Vita or blender and let ‘er rip
The pictures scream late night + horrible lighting +iPhone photography
And that’s ok
Because when you want a Baileys Slushie late on a Friday night you are just not concerned about breaking out a big DSLR and waiting for perfect natural lighting.
But I get brownie points for my super classy plastic cup and glass straw, right?
For all the “volume eaters” (those people who’d rather have a huge plate of steamed broccoli for the same caloric value as 2 bites of a mashed potato with butter), this is a “volume drink”.
One little shot of Baileys produced all this drink (because of the added ice I surmise) and it just whipped up so well.
It was so cold that it gave me a Mister Misty headache when I tried to drink it too fast. It was so good, I couldn’t suck it down fast enough.
It was so good that I repeated this little experiment on Saturday night. And made a double batch and shared it with Scott. And he asked for seconds.
Questions:
1. Do you like Baileys?
I think I should make Buttery Nipples next. I am feeling the Baileys love lately.
2. Do you drink your beverages at a slow, average, fast, or warp speed rate?
I am warp speed. I have to consciously remind myself to sip, not chug.
And even with hot temperatures and beverages, my chug-a-lug rate is not reduced.
Iced coffees are the worst for this because I could literally drink them in a few seconds. Just like some people can guzzle a 6 oz bottle or water in a few seconds, I can do that with iced coffees. With water too, but iced coffees are more fun.
I always make my own vanilla iced coffee and never buy them when I’m out. I could suck $4 down in about 4 seconds flat.
I love Bailey’s, especially with coffee. I’m also a warp speed drinker (and eater…). Working on that.
I LOVE Baileys!! Lately I have been obsessed with baby Guinness shots – Patron Cafe topped with Bailyes. Yum! https://www.confessionsofachocoholic.com/review/tequila-at-mija
Party at Averie’s!!
I’m a warp speed drinker–one of the main reasons I do not frequently drink alcohol! Especially since I go for the sweet, girly drinks. That could be dangerous for waist lines, judgements, and wallets!
I’ve loved Bailey’s since I was little. Please, let me explain. My family always has Bailey’s around Christmas. It’s almost non-stop from Thanksgiving to New Years. Well, when I was little, I swiped a sip. One of those sneaky little devious stunts that requires a young’n to stalk the grown ups until they turn their heads for a millisecond. When I succeeded, I was so proud of myself! I loved that stuff and still do! I did have to wait quite a while before I was able to have some again though! Yum yum yum.
I think many of us did the sneaky sips :)
Mmm – this looks GOOOOD.
we LOVE Bailey’s – Jason and I ordered Baileys + coffee on an airplane, and everyone in first class heard the order and changed theirs to the same! :D
we were snowed in over a week one winter, and each morning Jason would make a fire, and I would make the Baileys + coffees… ;) *pray for snow this year* :D
I have to be in the right mood for Bailey’s — for the most part I don’t like creamy alcoholic drinks because they just don’t sit well with me (same with Kahlua).
I
I haven’t had Bailey’s in ages. This slushie looks fantastic though.
If it weren’t so cold right now, I’d make myself a blended vanilla coffee right now, because that iced coffee screams “BLEND ME”. But its cold and rainy, so I’ll keep my hot coffee.
BUT, my mom makes Brandy slushies every Christmas and she loves bailey’s so I’m passing this recipe on to her. Add some Dr. McGillicutty’s in there….heaven, baby.
ah yumm, I had my first coffee, bailey’s, and frangelico a couple months back and it was amazing. I tend to drink all drinks WAY too fast, especially those tiny expensive cocktails out at bars that I really should work on savoring a bit more. And iced coffees- 2 minutes max.
I loooove Bailey’s too! This sounds lovely.
Tony LOVES Bailey’s! I wish I could have it, but I stick with my favorite…kahlua!
Mmm, this looks awesome! Love that the little shot produced so much. I should try this with a kahlua and (almond) milk…I want those things to last forever…but they’re always gone too fast :P Speaking of which – I tend to drink pretty fast, too! Until I get to the last of things, in which case I start nursing it, haha.
This looks amazing!! Okay, so I have a question…(probably a really stupid question) but does Baileys Liquor need to be refrigerated after you open it? I have two bottles that I bought on my honeymoon 3 years ago but I still haven’t opened it because I am afraid once I do, it will go bad.
I am pretty sure yes, it does. However, I have opened bottles and put them in the fridge and literally not drank anything from them and 6-12 mos later remember them in the back of the fridge and do a sniff test and they are fine. The alcohol pretty much kills germs IMO :) So open your bottles!
do i like baileys? LIke is an understatement! LOVE!
love the yellow cup and straw. the only thing better would be if you had one of holly’s retro mcdonald cups!
i have never had bailey’s. nope. but this drink sounds amazing!
i drink coffee or diet coke while i knit, so i sip as i go along. that’s the only time i drink anything other than water!
I love Baileys! This is such a great way to use it! :)
I have a big bottle of baileys at home that’s just crying out to be made into a slushie!
make some!
