How to Make Homemade Baileys Coffee Liqueur in 5 Minutes It tastes just as good as the original and does so much more!

1. Prepare Your Blender

Set up your blender for easy mixing. A blender is ideal to ensure all the ingredients combine smoothly.

2. Combine Ingredients

Add the following to the blender in this order:

1. Irish whiskey: Pour in your whiskey first to ensure it evenly mixes.
2. Sweetened condensed milk: This provides the creamy sweetness.
3. Heavy cream: Adds richness and creaminess.
4. Chocolate syrup: Enhances the depth of flavor.
5. Instant coffee granules: Dissolve the coffee granules in 1 tbsp of warm water if desired before adding.
6. Vanilla and almond extracts: These elevate the flavor profile.

3. Blend Until Smooth

• Blend the mixture on medium speed for 20–30 seconds, or until it’s fully combined. Avoid over-blending to prevent the cream from whipping.

4. Taste and Adjust

• Taste your liqueur. If you’d like it sweeter, add a touch more sweetened condensed milk. For a stronger coffee kick, dissolve extra instant coffee granules in a tiny bit of warm water and blend it in.

5. Bottle It Up

• Transfer the mixture to a clean glass bottle or jar with a tight-fitting lid. Store it in the refrigerator.

Serving Suggestions

• Serve chilled over ice for a classic experience.
• Add a splash to hot or iced coffee for a luxurious drink.
• Use it as an ingredient in desserts like tiramisu, fudge, or creamy cocktails.

Storage Tips

• Homemade Baileys Coffee Liqueur will last for about 2 weeks in the refrigerator. Shake the bottle well before each use, as separation may occur.

This homemade version of Baileys is quick, customizable, and utterly delicious. Enjoy it as a special treat or share it as a gift with friends and family!
