Irish cream syrup

Irish cream syrup is a sweet and creamy syrup inspired by the characteristic flavor of traditional Irish cream, an alcoholic beverage that combines Irish whiskey, dairy cream, cocoa, and vanilla. This syrup is commonly used in cooking and mixology to add an indulgent and aromatic touch to desserts, coffees, milkshakes, and cocktails.

Its origin is based on the popular Irish cream, created in Ireland in the 1970s, but the syrup is a non-alcoholic version that preserves the flavor nuances to facilitate its use in various culinary recipes and beverages.

Among its properties, its viscous and sweet texture stands out, which allows it to be easily integrated into cold or hot preparations, providing smoothness and a creamy flavor with notes of whiskey, caramel, and vanilla. It is a highly valued option for flavoring coffees, creamy desserts, ice creams, and cocktails without the need to add alcohol directly.

In different Hispanic American countries, this ingredient may be found under the following synonyms or descriptions: Irish whiskey cream syrup, Irish cream flavored syrup, or simply Irish cream syrup. Although it does not have a single universal name, in the context of baking and beverages, it is recognized for its characteristic flavor based on the famous Irish cream.
