Like that? Much tastier, as in, every drop will leave you satisfied. Why is this important? The flavor is never lost, even mixed with other items.

This recipe can’t be addressed as a homemade Bailey’s version since my recipe is a world above the name brand product.

Outside of only making it for ourselves we’ve opted to not be selfish and share our Irish cream liquor recipe with family and friends. Cause someone, somewhere, told us it was the right thing to do.

Homemade Irish cream has since become the most requested item to receive as a gift or to bring to gatherings.

Homemade Bailey’s – the not so copycat version

Homemade Irish cream liquor makes an excellent dessert sipper, though that’s not the only option when it comes to serving it. Options, friends, the more options one has the better it is.

It may, or may not, be delicious in our homemade hot chocolate mix. Alright, let me say it, it IS in fact perfect in our hot chocolate mix.

And then of course, it is fabulous in a cup of coffee. However, serving it with ice coffee cubes on a warm summer’s night along with a s’mores feast takes this homemade Irish cream liquor to a completely new level. Let’s consider it to be a blissfully yummy level.

Better yet, you need to serve it with honey baked peaches with cream (from Jill of the Prairie Homestead’s website). Yeah, the pairing is beyond mouthwatering. Beyond…..as in you’ve got to try them together this summer!

Easy to Make Homemade Irish Cream Liquor

This homemade Irish cream liquor recipe is written based on how we like it, however, it can be modified to your liking.

I personally think this recipe is perfect as is, though some may consider the recipe to be too sweet. At that point go ahead and add another tablespoon or more of cold coffee to it. Whereas other would say it tastes too boozie (how this is possible, I’m not sure). Feel free to lessen the amount of Irish whiskey. Though, if it’s not boozie enough add more alcohol.

Regardless, this homemade Irish cream recipe will have you making it often – winter, spring, summer, and fall. It’s a keeper, enjoy the heck out of it!

Cheers!
