Baileys just released a limited edition piña colada Irish cream

“It’s like summer in a bottle to enjoy at home, whatever the weather.”

In lockdown, we’ve all played bartender from home, and this new Baileys drink looks like a game-changer.

Baileys have just launched their new limited edition piña colada drink, and we cannot wait to try it out.

Unlike the traditional rum-based cocktail, Baileys are using their creamy Irish liqueur as the basis for this bevvy.

According to the drinks company, this new bottle is “a blend of Baileys irresistible Irish cream with the flavours of creamy coconut and sweet, juicy pineapple to create a smooth and creamy drink”.

Describing the drink, a spokesperson from the company said: “It’s like summer in a bottle to enjoy at home, whatever the weather.”

The drinks’ website already has a number of serving suggestions, including a frozen cocktail and a mouth-watering ice-cream dish.

However, the Baileys drink is also ready to serve straight from the fridge. No prep needed whatsoever – just pour over ice and enjoy.

Piña colada is not the first unusual drink flavour to come from the drinks company, and we’re certain it won’t be the last. The folks over at Baileys are unafraid to experiment.

Previously, the company has mixed it up with a number of dessert inspired-flavours – red-velvet cupcake, apple pie and pumpkin pie. The Baileys piña colada, however, hits differently.

Right now, the special edition Baileys piña colada is only available in the States. The drink is heading to UK supermarkets in April, so you better believe we’ll be keeping our eyes pealed for its arrival on Irish shores.

Given that we can’t be jetting off to Spain anytime soon, it feels only right that we should be able to enjoy the drink from the safety of our own homes.

Come on Baileys, we’re waiting. Do the right thing.
