Baileys Alexander
Baileys is an Irish Cream liqueur and is one of the bottles we regularly keep stocked in our home bar. It is such a nice smooth liqueur to have on hand. Whether it’s a Bailey Shillelagh shot to start the night or a Baileys Mailbu Slide to finish the night. The Baileys Alexander cocktail is more of a middle-of-the-night cocktail.
It’s a delicious smooth cocktail that is just perfect for sipping, Don’t confuse the Baileys Alexander with its cousin the Brandy Alexander.
