As the festive season approaches, it’s time to gather with loved ones and raise a glass to celebrate. And what better way to add a touch of Christmas cheer to your next holiday party than these easy Christmas drinks with Baileys?
What is Bayles?
Bailey’s is a creamy texture liqueur made from Irish whiskey blended with cream for those unfamiliar.
It has a deliciously smooth texture and flavor that lends itself well to both cold and hot drinks.
TIPS FOR MAKING THESE BAILEYS HOLIDAY DRINKS
Here are a few tips for ensuring your Baileys drinks turn out their best:
- Measure carefully for a balanced flavor.
- Use a metallic mixer or jar when shaking/blending creamy cocktails.
- Garnish festively with cinnamon sticks, chocolate shavings, candy canes, and chocolate sprinkles.
What tools do you need to make these baileys Christmas cocktails?
Cocktail Shaker: A cocktail shaker is essential for mixing ingredients and creating a smooth and well-blended drink.
Jigger: A jigger helps you measure the right amount of Baileys and other spirits, ensuring a perfectly balanced cocktail.
Mixing Glass: A mixing glass is useful for stirring cocktails that don’t require shaking, such as the Baileys White Russian.
Cocktail glasses: Martini glass, rocks glass, mug, etc.
You may also want a few other liquors on hand like vodka, whisky, coffee liqueur, or Kahlua to mix things up.
