Christmas Coffee – A Baileys Latte

December 8, 2015 by Laura Scott 12 Comments

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Sometimes I enjoy a mulled wine to kick start the festive season. Sometimes I enjoy a warming hot brandy chocolate with my mince pie.  Amaretto on ice isn’t to be sniffed at, nor is the classic Irish coffee. All that luxurious double cream sitting on top of brown sugar sweetened Irish whiskey laced coffee. Oh how I love Christmas cocktails.

My new favourite, discovered on thebar, is the Baileys latte. I have always had a soft spot for Baileys, have you? If so, you might like to check out these Christmas cocktails and New Year drinks. Baileys is a drink I have enjoyed for many years but only ever at Christmas. A little liqueur to finish off a winter warming meal sits so well with me at this time of the year.

I like to keep a bottle of Baileys to hand for toasting the season of goodwill. It does seem to find it’s way into my desserts as well as being enjoyed over ice sitting beside a glowing fire. I have used Baileys in ice creams, trifles, tiramisu and my ever popular loaded Christmas cheescake which I will be posting soon.

There is something so indulgent about a Baileys latte. If you are a coffee lover like me, this should be the way you finish off your meal for the next few weeks. A good shot or two of espresso blends beautifully with a whiskey and Irish cream liqueur, warm frothy milk and dark chocolate shavings.

    Now THIS is how I’d like to start (and finish!!) my Christmas day ;o) Baileys is fabulous in hot drinks – I had a Baileys hot chocolate at a Christmas fair once and was grinning like a Cheshire cat 😉
