Creamy Sweet

Homemade Irish Cream is a rich, creamy liqueur made by blending Scotch whisky with half-and-half, condensed milk, coconut syrup, and chocolate syrup. The result is a silky, dessert-like liqueur reminiscent of Baileys but with the deeper, smokier character of Scotch. It yields a large batch and can be stored refrigerated for several weeks.

History & Origins

Commercial Irish Cream liqueur, exemplified by Baileys, was first produced in 1974 by Gilbeys of Ireland as a way to blend Irish whiskey with dairy cream for a new liqueur category. Home recipes replicating this style, often using Scotch in place of Irish whiskey, proliferated in North American cookbooks during the 1980s and 1990s. The exact origin of this specific recipe is disputed.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Sweet cream, chocolate syrup, and a hint of coconut, with Scotch's malt beneath. Palate: Very sweet and thick, with creamy dairy richness, chocolate sweetness, coconut's tropical note, and the Scotch's subtle smokiness providing depth. Finish: Long, creamy, and sweet with a warming whisky glow.

Pro Tip

Blend all ingredients thoroughly and strain through a fine sieve before bottling; store refrigerated and shake well before each use as the cream may separate.
