Top bartender tip

"Stirring cocktails instead of shaking is better for cocktails with delicate ingredients that need to be mixed gently for the perfect taste. "

A quick history lesson

Bailey’s Irish Cream, an iconic liqueur, was first introduced in 1974 by Tom Jago and Dillon McShane in Dublin. It revolutionized cocktails by seamlessly blending Irish whiskey and cream, utilizing unique emulsification technology. This innovation not only preserved the mixture but also gave it a rich, smooth texture. Aimed at creating an indulgent drink, Bailey’s quickly gained fame for its versatility in various cocktails, from creamy classics like the Mudslide to festive favorites like the Espresso Martini. Today, Bailey’s is celebrated in over 160 countries, enchanting cocktail enthusiasts with its deliciously creamy and slightly boozy appeal.
