Baileys Irish Cream – Original & Flavored Cream Liqueurs

Baileys Irish Cream is the world's best-selling liqueur — a blend of fresh Irish dairy cream, aged Irish whiskey, and hints of chocolate and vanilla. Since its launch in 1974, Baileys has defined the cream liqueur category and remains the go-to for dessert cocktails, coffee drinks, and indulgent sipping. Wooden Cork ships the full Baileys lineup nationwide with fast, secure delivery.

The Baileys Lineup

Baileys Original Irish Cream is the benchmark — silky, sweet, and rich with chocolate and vanilla alongside a gentle whiskey warmth. Perfect on the rocks, in an Espresso Martini, or stirred into coffee. At 17% ABV it's approachable and extremely versatile.

Baileys Salted Caramel adds a buttery caramel note with a subtle salt finish — one of the most popular flavored expressions and excellent in hot chocolate or over vanilla ice cream.

Baileys Espresso Crème layers concentrated espresso into the classic cream base — ideal for coffee cocktails and tiramisu-inspired drinks.

Baileys Vanilla Cinnamon introduces warm spice alongside the cream — a natural choice for the holiday season and autumn cocktails.

How to Use Baileys

Beyond sipping neat or on the rocks, Baileys is one of the most versatile ingredients behind any home bar. It forms the base of the classic Mudslide (Baileys + vodka + coffee liqueur), the Irish Coffee float, and the Baileys Espresso Martini. In the kitchen, Baileys works in cheesecakes, truffles, brownies, and cream-based dessert sauces. A splash in hot chocolate or cold brew coffee requires no recipe at all.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Baileys need to be refrigerated?

Baileys recommends storing the bottle between 0–25°C (32–77°F) and consuming within 2 years of the best before date, whether opened or unopened. Once opened, refrigeration is recommended and it should be consumed within 6 months for best quality. The cream is homogenized and treated, so it doesn't spoil as quickly as fresh cream.

Is Baileys gluten-free?

Baileys Original Irish Cream is considered gluten-free. The Irish whiskey used in Baileys is distilled, which removes gluten proteins. However, individuals with severe gluten sensitivities should consult their doctor before consuming.

What cocktails can I make with Baileys?

Classic Baileys cocktails include the Mudslide, Irish Coffee, Baileys Espresso Martini, B-52 shot, and Baileys Hot Chocolate. The cream base also works well layered over ice cream for an affogato-style dessert drink.
