Irish cream liqueur

• Liqueurs
• Alcoholic

Irish cream is a creamy liqueur that combines fresh cream from Irish milk, Irish whiskey, alcohol, sugar and flavourings such as cocoa and vanilla. First seen in Dublin in 1974, it is now a geographical indication: to be called Irish Cream it must be made on the island of Ireland, with at least 10% milk fat and 15% ABV. It tastes smooth and sweet, somewhere between milky coffee and milk chocolate. It is layered in the B-52 and used in creamy drinks such as the Mudslide and the Orgasm.

Strength: usually 17% ABV (legal minimum 15%).

Also known as: Baileys, Irish cream
