Perhaps the most famous liquor in the world is Baileys, which appeared in 1974. At that time, it was the only whiskey-based cream liqueur. Now there are many analogues of this drink. However, it was Baileys who managed to win a huge audience of fans not only among gourmets of fine liquors, but also among cocktail lovers.

1 Cream liqueur - digestif or aperitif?

Baileys is a classic digestif, that is, an alcoholic drink that is usually served at the end of a meal in order to improve the digestive process. Traditionally, it is served at room temperature, but there are also options where several ice cubes are allowed in the glass. Cream liqueur is ideal for desserts.

It is especially harmoniously combined with the Italian delicacy Tiramisu - the presence of delicate Savoyardi sticks, Mascarpone cheese and coffee notes creates the perfect tandem with a sip of sweet alcohol. During a hearty meal, such a drink is not served, with the exception of lean meat in berry or fruit sauce and light salads. It is becoming more and more clear that Baileys is intended only to emphasize the taste of dessert dishes.

2 B-52 - the legendary cocktail of nightclubs

The recipe for the B-52 cocktail is probably known to many, but the official year and place of its creation are still shrouded in mystery. Some experts are inclined to believe that the B-52 appeared relatively recently - in 1977, in the Keg Steakhouse bar. However, many argue that the cocktail appeared much earlier - in 1955, during the Cold War. The latest version also explains the origin of the name of the drink (American bomber Boeing B-52 Stratofortress).

Whatever the true version of the origin of the cocktail, the recipe for making a three-layer shot remains unchanged. First, Kalua coffee liqueur is poured into the stack, then Baileys is poured over the blade of a knife or the back of a bar spoon, and Grand Marnier orange liqueur completes the composition. All alcoholic drinks are poured in equal quantities - 20 ml each. After preparing B-52, it is customary to set fire to it, although many gourmets of this drink prefer the usual version without arson.

However, with a "lit wick" this cocktail looks much more spectacular and spectacular. In some ways, it can be classified as an extreme drink, which is now very popular all over the world. Like all shots, this cocktail is drunk in one sip. Now there are many variations on the B-52 theme.

Often in the cocktail list you can find the name B-53 - sometimes Baileys is replaced with sambuca, and orange liqueur is replaced with vodka, absinthe and Cointreau.

3 Series of the most popular shot drinks with Baileys

When combining ingredients in cocktails based on cream liqueur, bartenders take into account the peculiarities of this alcoholic delight. For example, you will never be able to see a cocktail where Baileys, sour juices and carbonated drinks are present at the same time. Such a mix can lead to cream curdling, which, falling in flakes to the bottom of the glass, will look very unaesthetic and simply spoil the taste of your cocktail.

Given this feature of cream liqueur, it is extremely rare to find it in long-drink recipes, which cannot be said about layered shots, where Baileys is the "highlight of the program":

• Hiroshima is a famous alcoholic cocktail that appeared in the 50s of the last century. The idea of ​​its creation is a challenge of Soviet bartenders to the no less famous American cocktail - B-52. First, 20 ml of sambuca is poured into the pile, then 10 ml of Baileys are carefully placed, and 20 ml of absinthe on top of it. The addition of a couple of drops of Grenadine syrup completes everything, which creates the very effect of a nuclear explosion in the glass against the background of transparent sambuca.

• Brain tumor (brain explosion) - they say that this cocktail appeared spontaneously when one of the American bartenders got bored after work and decided to experiment. By mixing all the ingredients he had, he got a completely new drink, which later entered the cocktail list of the bar where he worked. The complexity of cooking arises when laying layers. The bartender needs to achieve a really spectacular picture, reminiscent of a "drunk brain" in the end. To do this, 20 ml of white vermouth is poured into the bottom of the stack, and then Baileys is added in a thin stream. The effect of the picture is given by the addition of Grenadine syrup to the cocktail, which, due to its rich red color, repeats the semblance of cerebral convolutions. The last thing to do is carefully add 10 ml of vodka to the shot.

• Burning Henry - It is believed that the inspiration for creating this cocktail was love. According to legend, a certain Henry Smith decided to win the heart of a young beauty. To do this, he arranged a grandiose cocktail party, where he actually presented the fruits of his labors. A distinctive feature of this drink is the balance of taste and unusual presentation. 15 ml, Baileys and are alternately placed in a glass. At the end, the cocktail is set on fire and quickly drunk through a cocktail tube.

And some secrets...

Russian scientists of the Department of Biotechnology have created a drug that can help in the treatment of alcoholism in just 1 month. The main difference of the drug is ITS 100% NATURALITY, which means efficiency and safety for life:

• Eliminates psychological cravings
• Eliminates breakdowns and depression
• Protects liver cells from damage
• Gets out of heavy drinking in 24 HOURS
• COMPLETE RELEASE from alcoholism, regardless of the stage!
• Very affordable price.. only 990 rubles!

A COURSE ADMINISTRATION IN ONLY 30 DAYS PROVIDES A COMPREHENSIVE SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM OF ALCOHOL. The unique ALKOBARRIER complex is by far the most effective in the fight against alcohol addiction.

Baileys cream liqueur is an example of successful marketing and a healthy sense of patriotism. It appeared in the 70s of the XX century during a strong decline in sales of Irish whiskey. The management of one of the companies set its technologists the task of inventing a completely new drink. The composition must contain Irish whiskey and other products of Irish origin only.

In addition to grain whiskey, the green island has always been famous for its endless pastures and the freshest cream. The idea of ​​mixing two opposing products gave birth to a new family of liqueurs, the main one of which has been Baileys Irish Cream for 40 years. Other types of Baileys liqueur can be found and purchased on the website of the Wine Food online store

A pleasant warming taste is explained by the composition of the drink, which is not a secret. The oldest whiskey brand on the island, Bushmills, was chosen as the alcohol base. Cream is made from the milk of Irish cows grazing in the Irish meadows. Unique memorable notes are given by the addition of caramel, vanilla and chocolate. The secret of the manufacturers has become a patented technology that allows you to mix whiskey and cream to a homogeneous structure and prevent their separation.

One of the areas of application of Baileys — cocktails . Without exaggeration, it is represented in the cocktail lists of all bars in the world. The dense creamy structure is the best for layered cocktails. Creamy taste goes well with other classic liqueurs, as well as ice cream, coffee, bananas, strawberries.

What Baileys should not be mixed with are sodas and sodas. Contact with carbon dioxide will cause the cream to curdle. Fruit acids contained in juices, especially fresh ones, will lead to the same effect.

Layered Baileys Cocktails

They are characterized by several contrasting tastes and a fairly high strength. They are usually consumed in one sip, so the portions are small. For serving use shots, liqueur glasses, piles.

B-52

No matter how trite it may sound, B-52 is still the most popular cocktail with Baileys. The effect of immiscible layers is achieved due to the different densities of the liqueurs used. Dense coffee Kahlua (Kahlua) is poured on the bottom of the shot, creamy Baileys is poured over the top, the final third layer is made of transparent orange Cointreau (Cointreau).

To make your own B-52, besides the liqueurs themselves, taken in equal parts, you will need patience and a little practice in creating layers. You can use a regular knife with a straight blade. The second and third layers are poured strictly along the knife edge. The knife must be held at an angle, with the tip against the inner wall of the shot at the point where the previous layer ends. For greater effect, the top layer is set on fire and quickly drunk through a straw while the flame burns. In a simplified version, all components can simply be mixed together and served in a glass - a daisy.

Sweet tooth guessed to change the bottom layer. Astringent coffee liqueur is replaced with chocolate liqueur, such as Sheridan's.

And the replacement of the top orange layer with absinthe gave life to the new B-53 cocktail.

Hiroshima

Less popular than the previous one, but no less spectacular. The cocktail got its name for imitation of the "mushroom" from the blast wave of a nuclear bomb, as well as an explosive fortress. For one shot take:

• Sambuca - 20 ml;
• Baileys - 10 ml;
• absinthe - 20 ml
• Grenadine syrup - 5 ml.

The first three ingredients are layered on top of each other in the order mentioned in the recipe. Grenadine drips from above. Heavy pomegranate syrup sinks to the bottom, creating a red glow in the transparent layer of Sambuca. The cocktail can be set on fire, you can drink it through a straw or in one gulp. In the latter case, the contrasting tastes of the used drinks change interestingly. Strong and bitter absinthe is softened by a creamy taste, which is invigorated by the aniseed spice of Sambuca.

Tricolor

In response to the patriotic Irish, our bartenders recreated the colors of the Russian flag in a shot. For a full serving you will need:

• Grenadine syrup - 30 ml;
• liqueur Curacao Blue (Curasao Blue) - 30 ml;
• Baileys liqueur - 15 ml;
• vodka - 15 ml.

Red pomegranate syrup is poured into the bottom of the shot. It is covered with a layer of blue Curacao. The shot ends with Baileys and vodka mixed together.

Burning Henry

A beautiful legend claims that the cocktail appeared as a result of courtship of Henry Smith for his beloved. Whether it was the famous science fiction writer or some other Henry is unknown. But the composition is very symbolic: a strong charismatic whiskey burns with love for a delicate creamy liqueur. To surprise the girl you like, you will need:

• liquor Amaretto (Amaretto) - 15 ml;
• Baileys liqueur - 15 ml;
• whiskey (original bourbon) - 15 ml.

Then we proceed according to the already proven scheme. We layer drinks on top of each other, starting with Amaretto and ending with whiskey. We set fire to the top layer, in this case it is mandatory. While the whiskey is burning, propose to your lady. Or just drink in one gulp to demonstrate your fearlessness.

There are a great many cocktails prepared using this technology. The principle is the same for everyone: 3-4 drinks that differ in taste and density; the top layer is usually strong enough to set on fire; a drop of syrup of a contrasting color creates intricate images. Here are some:

• Slippery nipple: Sambuca, Baileys, Grenadine;
• ABC (ABC): Amaretto, Baileys, cognac;
• Nasty slush: coffee liqueur, Baileys, absinthe;
• Seducer: coffee liqueur, Baileys, melon or apple liqueur.

Blends

This type of cocktail with cream liqueur is usually mixed in a blender. They are usually multi-component, include fruits, ice cream, ice. Therefore, high-quality mixing is required.

• Raffaello: Baileys, vanilla liqueur and coconut liqueur (Maliby) are taken in equal parts and mixed with ice. It turns out a delicious dessert mix.
• Butterscotch: take one part of cream liqueur and milk and two parts of ice cream. Milkshake for adults pleases with a delicate balanced taste and weak strength.
• Baileys smoothie: 2 parts cream liqueur, 1 part coffee liqueur (Kahlua), egg liqueur (Advokaat), cream and 3 bananas. In the absence of egg liqueur, it can be replaced with another (for example, vanilla) or ice cream.
• Perfect Continius: one part each of strawberry and caramel syrups, two parts each of cream liqueur, white rum, cream and ice. Another cocktail option that can be used as a dessert.

coffee cocktails

Depending on the other components of Baileys liqueur cocktails, in combination with coffee, they can act as a warming drink or a refreshing one.

• Coffee Madame: Mix 1 serving of freshly brewed Americano coffee (120-150 ml) with Baileys (30 ml) and garnish with a cap of whipped cream. This combination is wonderfully warm and slightly relaxing.
• Creamy coffee: 1 part Baileys, two parts of cold coffee and cream ice cream. Helps to cheer up with a cup of coffee and refresh at the same time.
