Here Are Three Ways to Serve Up Baileys Colada – This Summer’s Must Have Drink

When you close your eyes and think of Baileys Irish Cream, what comes to mind?

Is it cosy gatherings with loved ones during the holidays? Your favourite Christmas Day tipple? Uncle Bryn getting excited over the legendary mint chocolate edition?

 

Disregard all that, Baileys is breaking out of the Christmas classic boundaries with its fabulous new Summer edition – Baileys Colada.

It may take a bit of mental strength to connect the warming Irish cream with hot summer evenings, but once you take a sip of Baileys Colada it will all make perfect sense.

The classic velvety Baileys base is now infused with the summery flavours of fresh coconut and zingy pineapple, making this a creamy tropical treat!

 

Just like the original, Baileys Colada tastes perfect served over ice. For a Summery touch, dip the rim of your glass in desiccated coconut and trim with a pineapple garnish for a pop of flavour. Best enjoyed while watching the sunset.

If you want to play more with this limited-edition flavour, here are more ways to serve up the highly anticipated release…
