This is AWESOME. I'm a big fan of Bailey's and thought it'd be great to bottle an original blend for Christmas gifts. I found glass bottles with a stopper you can reuse over and over (not a cork) at The Container Store for $5 and then made up batches for friends. When made with all heavy cream, it's good but it's so thick I found myself adding milk to my glass when I poured some to drink. So I altered the cream in the recipe to using part heavy cream and part milk. Also, I think instant coffee is a crime against nature and couldn't see buying a whole container for such a small amount needed here so instead I used 2 Tbsps Kahlua. Since that's liqeur, I dropped the whiskey down to 1 cup and it tastes great, not to mention still being pretty strong. Definitely worth making and tweaking to your own tastes!

Wow! Easy recipe to make ahead and to keep pouring.... everyone raved about it at a neighborhood party. I used only about 1 cup of whiskey and thought it was strong enough for the first batch ;)

Great stuff! I made a batch on Saturday and my 2 sisters-in-law drank it all on Saturday night! I am going to make more for the holidays. Didn't have any almond extract and I don't think we missed it.

Next time I'll try this exactly as written, with the heavy cream. It was too thin with half and half, and not as creamy as I would have liked. I also used cheap alcohol, and I think this make a difference, too. I really like the other recipe on here what uses non-dairy creamer and raw eggs. That gets 5 stars from me!

I made this recipe for a gift exchange and for the holidays and everyone loved it. Personally I thought the drink was a little strong but I was the only one. I also served this at a St. Patrick's Day party in shot glasses made of chocolate and it was a big hit I should have made more.

Excellent stuff. I used my best friend Jack, and whipping cream; followed the measurements exactly. The only change I made was to use Nesquick powder, since we don't keep 'chocolate syrup' in the house. Mmm. I barely had enough to share with guests!

Tasted almost like St. Brendan's and cost WAY less. The only problem my husband and I has was it didn't need the almond. It threw the taste off a bit, but wasn't bad. I just would leave it out next time.

This is really awesome, but I'd like to say that the next time I make this I will use 1/2 & 1/2 instead of heavy cream and only 1/2 tsp almond extract. I did just that this weekend and it is absolutely perfect. The heavy cream was just a little too much for me and even though I love the taste of almond extract (why don't almonds tast like that?) cutting that back to 1/2 teaspoon was perfect. Thanks for this great (and much more affordable) recipe!

I made this to give as host/hostess gifts last holiday season and all who received it raved! So this will definitely become a part of the goodie bags/boxes we give for the holidays. Sometimes we make this with just a touch of coconut extract, too.

OUTSTANDING!! i used about 2 1/2 cups of Jameson and left out the instant coffee and it was a giant success! It's become a Christmas morning tradition - even grandma loves it in her coffee!

This was so easy to make and SO much cheaper than buying a bottle of Bailey's. I used a Canadian Whiskey and only put in 1-1/2 cups. It's really strong, so next time I'll reduce the whiskey some more. I used fat free half and half and it tastes delicious - - you won't miss the fat from the heavy cream. (For company, though, I'll probably use heavy cream!) Wonderful recipe!

Honestly, if I could give this 10 stars I would..wouldn't ever buy from the store again. I saved two bottles from the Baileys and I just keep refilling them. One bottle of whiskey gets me three bottles of Irish Cream. I make as it says except I if I don't want a strong taste of whiskey I use 1 1/4 cup whiskey..if I want it a little stronger..I use 1/ 1/2 cups..personal I think 1 2/3 cup is way too much..other then that great recipe:)

made this exactly according to the recipe except i used only one cup of a cheap canadien whiskey. next time i think i'll cut the chocolate syrup by half. made a double batch, yielding about 64 oz. cost was roughly $14.00 vs. $30.00+ for baileys. i used a rinsed out 64 oz. juice jug for a container. maybe a tequila rose next time ?
