COFFEE for Homemade Baileys Irish Cream
In this recipe we use instant coffee, make sure you do not go overboard with the use of coffee, we making baileys not cold coffee. If you add more, flavors change. I remember adding a teaspoon more and my sister actually thought it was cold coffee with a funny aftertaste. So just the mentioned amount is good and not more.
WHISKEY
One of the most important ingredients is whiskey. For best results, I like to use Irish whiskey. If you do not have Irish whiskey you can use whatever is easily available however the amount depends on how strong or mild the flavors are. I personally always use Irish whiskey, it is one of the reasons homemade baileys taste as good as original Baileys. So IRISH WHISKEY it is
