Bailey’s + Everclear = great drink for people who simultaneously don’t like alcohol and have a decent tolerance already

I happen to like Bailey’s, but have to drink it more like a milkshake than a traditional drink due to its thickness. It doesn’t seem much better than a Beatbox at that rate.

But I realized that I could add liquor to Bailey’s without changing the flavor profile all that much. Bing bang boom, aunt’s your uncle, I ended up pouring Everclear into a cup of Bailey’s.

I had to experiment with the amounts, and it’s still not an exact science, but there is a quantity of Everclear that can be combined with Bailey’s (or any Irish cream; they’re all the same) without compromising on drinkability for people who despise the taste of alcohol. I know this because I am one.

I have no idea what the true ABV of my cocktail is, but I do know that I have wanted to combine alcohol with alcohol and still be drinkable for a long time, and I just added half an ounce of 150 proof Everclear to less than 12oz of 34 proof Bailey’s and it’s perfectly drinkable.

If you happen to like Bailey’s, then adding even the smallest quantity of Everclear can’t go wrong. It’s just a stronger Bailey’s. Your own taste will determine how much stronger it can be. I encourage you to experiment with it.
