    Note: Scroll to the recipe card at the bottom for the ingredients quantities and full detailed method.

    The ingredients needed to make the cocktail.
    • Caramel sauce - for this recipe it's best to use a caramel sauce or dulce de leche that is slightly runny. You can also make your own salted caramel sauce (just omit the pinch of salt).
    • Salted Caramel Baileys - or you can use regular Baileys, your favourite Irish cream liqueur or even make your own Baileys.
    • Vodka - you can use any brand of vodka you prefer.
    • Milk - I recommend using full fat milk in this cocktail recipe for its creaminess.
    • Salt - omit the salt if using a salted caramel sauce.

    Equipment Required

    You don't need any special equipment to make these Baileys vodka cocktails! Just a blender, Thermomix or cocktail shaker and 2 glasses!

    FAQs

    Can I use regular Baileys Irish cream?

    Sure, just keep in mind that your cocktail won't have quite as strong a caramel flavour as using Salted Caramel Baileys Irish Cream.

    Can I double this recipe?

    Absolutely! If you are making this cocktail for a party, you can easily double or triple the recipe!

    Should Baileys be refrigerated after opening?

    No, Baileys doesn't need to be kept in the refrigerator after opening.
