25 Baileys Cocktails & Drinks For Every Occasion

ByAnnie Brown

Baileys cocktails are creamy, delicious, and decadent. Add some Baileys to any drink for instant dessert in a glass.

There is no shortage of Baileys drinks: Irish coffee, thin mint cocktail, chocolate martini, white Russian, Baileys hot chocolate, and so much more.

Included are easy ways to tweak some of the holiday-specific drinks.

These changes make them suitable for any time of year or for a different holiday other than what they were originally intended for.

Also included are the number of different alcohol varieties in each drink.

This will come in handy if you are trying to save money by not buying multiple types of liquor or you only have Baileys on hand. Cheers!
