Thanks for asking dear Kim. This recipe is from Deb & dear Betsy published it in a Newsletter many years ago. Since them I had prepared it hundreds of times and people consider it as good or better than the very expensive Bailys.


Copycat for Bailys Irish Cream

1 2/3 Irish whiskey
1 cup heavy cream
1 can condensed milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tsp chocolate syrup
1 tsp almond extract
1 tsp instant coffee ( Disolve this with a scant amount of hot water first)

Add all ingredients to blender and blend on low for one minute. Store in refrigerator.


This was one of the first drinks that my mother taught me how to prepare. It is a ladies beverage and one of our favorites.
