The reason for asking is that me & jan enjoyed a bottle of Tesco's finest irish cream liqueur last night but at £9.69 for a 70cl bottle its quite a expensive tipple
Now I think the ingredients are -
Condensed milk
coffee
Irish whiskey
double cream ............Or have i got it completely wrong ??
Also if someone has made their own is it cost effective ?
Hi we were once out and about in our previous caravan at this timemof the year. I popped into Aldi for some bits and bobs, and noticed their cream liquer, it was quite nice it is about four years ago now so the price wouldn't be revenant. It might be worth you taking a look at Aldi and Lidl though for theirs.
Can't help with how to make it, but you brought back a memory for me that I had long forgotten. My Dad used to make egg flip, I remember it having raw eggs and sherry in it. I can just taste it now......and sometimes I remember if the egg was beaten properly getting a huge chunk of raw egg yuk LOL.

on the ferry back from france i met a guy who said he worked for the firm baylies and they supply aldi with their irish cream but in a different bottle
I have a recipe for Irish Cream Liqueur which is very good.
My family absolutely love this.
Irish Cream Liqueur
400g of CONDENSED Sweetened Milk
225ml Irish Whiskey (the cheaper blended stuff is fine)
2 teaspoons of Camp coffee (the liquid coffee and chicory drink - apparently the chicory flavour is very important to bring out the coffee taste)
2 teaspoons vanilla essence
2 large or 3 medium eggs
Method:
Beat the eggs thoroughly and add whiskey. Mix well and stir in the vanilla essence and Camp coffee. Add condensed milk and mix well.
This makes a bottle of liqueur and we reckon it works out at about half price compared to Baileys.
The secret is to beat the eggs really well so that there are no nasty glutinous messes lurking to jump out at you
Edit because I forgot to mention: Camp coffee is essential for this. I once tried using strong coffee instead and the result was very disappointing.
I use Camp coffee when making coffee cake too because the flavour is far superior to using real coffee - I don't know why, just know it's true.
we used to make our own years ago and if i remember correctly there was cocoa powder in the mix with the coffee, cant remember quantities for the life of me but it didnt keep if fresh cream was used in lieu of condensed milk. Not that it ever lasted more than a few hours anyway

Tincan I can back you on that as it doesnt last to long but as you say it does soon go down the old throat
Its like when you make your own Egg Nog that has the same problem
