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 am in the UK right now and they just came out with a new bailey’s flavor – biscotti!! I can’t wait to try it, sounds perfect for winter :)
That drink looks so refreshing … makes me wish I liked Bailey’s!
I LOVE Bailey’s…I haven’t had it for ever, but it is so swoonable. Love this recipe girl!! Now I think I have to get some Bailey’s!!
xxoo
I’m definitely a chugger, and that goes for all liquids – not just the tasty, sweet ones! Water, milk, vodka sodas – you name it, it goes down fast.
I will for SURE remember this one! I adore Bailey’s…anything.
:)
Just STOP IT and pour me one right now, this looks sooooo wonderful (and just what I need after a day like today). SO simple too. Love love love!
pour yourself one after your long day :)
I LOVE Baileys. They don’t seem too popular up here in Vancouver but back home mudslides are all the rage for a decadent and indulgent beachside drink and they are perfect – thanks to the Baileys!
Um, on my way over.
I love Bailey’s and I love slushies! Looks like the perfect Friday night drink!!
I don’t think I have actually ever had Bailey’s before, because I hate coffee. And I’ve only ever heard of them going together. I can only chug drinks if I’m super thirsty. Otherwise I’m pretty slow. Although my best friend is like you, I always have to remind her to sip slowly. Especially if we ever share a drink, lol!
I love Bailey’s and coffee. And buttery nipples are delicious. But have you never had the Bailey’s coagulate when you drink it as a drink, not a shot? This happened to me one night, when a friend was drinking one and gave it to me to finish off, and the bottom was just coagulated nastiness. We figured it was because there was grenadine in it, but on Saturday night we had another shot that also had Bailey’s in it, and the Bailey’s coagulated but there was no grenadine.
And I’m definitely a warp-speed drinker. It’s really pretty shameful.
Why is Bailey’s so good?! It’s dangerous.
when i was a teen i would put bailey’s ads all over my wall. it was cool to do the “absolut vodka” ones but i was a rebel, er weirdo…
Ooooh, I did NOT know that they make non-alcoholic Bailey’s!!! I’m going to have to look into that!!
and the coffee creamer is VERY close in taste to the real thing! so good!
That drink/ice cream sounds great! I’ve got Kahlua at home, but no baileys. I LOVE Making coffee drinks in my vitamix. I use the Stevia drops and some Torani flavored sugar free sweetener for my concoctions. This morning I had a mocha banana Smoothie (minus the booze, I did have to work ya know).
your drink sounds good and ive heard that torani syrups are really tasty!
That sounds yummy! My hubby and I love to share cold drinks together…and then we end up fighting for the the last sip :-)
