Homemade Holiday Baileys Irish Cream

Homemade Holiday Baileys Irish Cream

Ever wonder how to make your own Irish Baileys Cream for the holidays? Read on for the recipe!

One of my favorite things about being around my Mom is that she is constantly inspiring me. I look to her as the OG DIY Darling - she’s taught me everything I know. For example, it never even crossed my mind that one could make Baileys until my mom whipped out a gorgeous bottle from the fridge and poured me a glass! I knew I had to attempt… because is there anything better than a little Baileys in your coffee on Christmas morning while you open presents??

One quick note - the recipe calls for gingerbread spice. We found this difficult to find in stores, so we just looked up a recipe to make it. Ironically, the following day while shopping at our local favorite, Ginger and Baker, we found a large jar of it! So either plan on ordering it ahead of time or make it yourself.
