To burn it off
Baileys is whiskey, cream and sugar, so the calories come from three places at once. That's why it tastes like pudding.
A glass is about 165 kcal, with 10 g of carbs and 7 g of fat. Two glasses is 330.
It comes out at Christmas and somehow the bottle is empty by New Year. Nobody knows how.
Tips
- 1Pour it over lots of ice so one glass lasts longer.
- 2Have a splash in your coffee instead of a full glass.
- 3Use a small glass, it really does make a difference.
Where it comes from
Baileys was invented in London, not Ireland. In 1973 drinks consultants David Gluckman and Hugh Seymour-Davies mixed Jameson whiskey, cream and Cadbury drinking chocolate for a brief from Gilbeys of Ireland, and it went on sale in 1974 as the first Irish cream. The name came from Baileys Bistro, a restaurant below their office in Soho.
