Baileys Vanilla Mint Dream Cocktail

Introducing the newest addition to the Baileys family – the smooth and creamy Baileys Vanilla Mint shake Irish cream Liqueur. This one is Infused with the rich flavors of vanilla and invigorating mint. Baileys Vanilla mint shake liqueur is the perfect ingredient to elevate your creamy cocktail game. Wait till you see what we do with it.

Baileys Vanilla Mint Liqueur has a creamy, velvety texture with a cool and refreshing taste of mint, complemented by the smooth, sweet notes of vanilla. It can be enjoyed on its own, over ice, or mixed with other spirits and ingredients to create unique and delicious cocktails like this one.

We add vanilla vodka and half and half to double down on the creamy vanilla notes and then bring on the chocolate! What is better than that? Add a chocolate syrup drizzle to your glass and a sprinkling of shaved chocolate to the top. It will bring out the vanilla mint and a hint of chocolate blended into the liqueur.

The flavor combination in the vanilla mint shake baileys offers with this new flavor is just miraculous. Cheers to the perfect blend of flavor and fun.

This is a new release from Baileys. And from what I’m seeing it is the only mint flavored baileys currently available. If they ever had a different mint Baileys, this must be replacing it. We can see why. It’s a lovely balance of flavors, well suited as a base for LOTS of creative cocktails.

Substitutions:

What tastes like Baileys but is cheaper?

Here’s a few ideas for liqueurs that have similar flavor profiles to Baileys Vanilla Mint Shake but are less expensive. Please note that the taste of these liqueurs may differ from Baileys and change this drink somewhat. Use your personal preferences to decide the best substitute.

Options similar in taste to Baileys but less expensive Include:

1. Carolans Irish Cream: Carolans is a less expensive cream liqueur from Ireland that is similar to Baileys in taste and texture.
2. Saint Brendan’s Irish Cream: Saint Brendan’s is another Irish cream liqueur has a similar flavor profile to Baileys but not as much money.
3. Kirkland Signature Irish Cream Liqueur: This is a private-label brand available at Costco, and is a great value for the price. It is similar in taste and texture to Baileys.
4. O’Mara’s Irish Country Cream: This is a cream liqueur from Ireland that is often compared to Baileys in taste and texture, but less expensive.

These brands may have vanilla mint flavors but they won’t be precisely like this baileys vanilla mint. So if you use them you may have to balance the flavors of this drink differently to make it the luscious, dreamy drink we intend for you.

Subbing out the Vodka:

To keep the vanilla flavor use a vanilla vodka. If you want to use a plain vodka it won’t be a deal breaker, but you will lose a bit of the richness a good vanilla vodka can offer here.

Cream VS. Half N Half:

Half N Half is plenty creamy for this already richly decadent drink. If cream is all you have, try cutting it with milk. Milk by itself will be definite loss for the creaminess so try to keep that yummy richness by using Half N Half.

The chocolate Syrup and Shavings:

You can omit these if you like but you will notice they add a nice bit of flavor and counterpoint texture to the drink. You can use dark chocolate if you want to cut the sweet.
