Just bought a bottle of Irish Cream. No idea what it is but just wondering if it goes in the fridge or not while waiting to be consumed.

I put mine in the fridge as I like it cold.

I like the lidl version. Not as thick as Bailey's but a fraction of the price. Ice cold, lovely.

No need to put it in the fridge but wont hurt, imo its better as cold as possible. Nothing beats Baileys though, the others are far too thin.

Is caramel Baileys still available? Not seen it in ages.

Not sure but Tesco do a salted caramel liquer that is fantastic.

If you're so inclined, it's worth making your own. It's basically whisky, cream, coffee, chocolate syrup and vanilla. Plenty of recipies all over the internet. Dead easy to make, it's just mixing everything. The hardest part is making the chocolate syrup if you don't have any. The beauty of it is you can make it as thick or thin as you like by using double or single cream, or both (single is closest to real Baileys), and can vary the strength according to the type and amount of whisky. If you loooove Baileys, then you'll probably find you can't get it the same, but if it's any old generic whisky cream liquer you crave, it's a great substitute.

Part of what makes Baileys special is that their process makes the milk particles smaller, which helps the alcohol preserve it longer without being cooled. Other cream liquors won't last nearly as long. For example, Carolans website says their stuff needs to be stored in the fridge once opened, and then consumed within 6 months. Baileys claims 2 years "opened or unopened, stored in the fridge or not".

I'm lucky if a bottle lasts one evening, so I'm not concerned about longevity.

Don't put it in the fridge, just serve it over ice.
