Irish cream liqueur is a creamy alcoholic beverage very popular all over the world, famous for its sweet and smooth flavor that combines whiskey with cream and other ingredients. Originating in Ireland, this liqueur was initially known as Bailey's, in honor of the brand that popularized this blend in the 1970s. In various Latin American countries, even though the commercial name Bailey's is maintained, it is also known simply as cream liqueur or whiskey cream liqueur, being a frequent accompaniment for celebrations and special occasions.
This liqueur has its roots in the ancient Irish tradition of combining whiskey with dairy products, which gives it that unique flavor and pleasant texture. Its international success led to different regions adapting the recipe, incorporating local ingredients or varying the proportions to obtain different nuances in the flavor.
