👩🏻🍳 Tips
Chef Tip: to keep ice cream scoops from melting right away, form them beforehand and place them in the freezer for several hours before serving.
- Some pistachio ice cream is green in color and some is white. Either one will work for this recipe.
- You can add more or less alcohol as desired.
- This can also be made as a non-alcoholic drink, you'll probably want to add a little more creamer to the drink in this case.
📚 Variations
- Vanilla Vodka makes for a great replacement for Baileys in an iced coffee.
- If you want a cinnamon twist to your drink then use Fireball instead irish cream.
- For a Mexican iced coffee, add some Kahlua.
- My favorite swap for this recipe is using Amaretto for a sweet almond flavor.
- You can also use your favorite syrups like caramel or chocolate for drizzling on top or the sides of the glass.
🥫 Storage
The Bailey's iced coffee doesn't save really well. But if you do have leftovers, they should be refrigerated and will last at least 1-3 days. But be warned, the ice cream will melt.
