Irish Cream Liqueur

BeachGirl's Note:

A smooth, creamy liqueur, like Bailey's, that melts in your mouth. It makes great gifts during the holidays! I have kept it refrigerated for up to 3 months, and it was still delicious!

So easy to make and taste so good. I used it in Kahlua Mudslide. Delicious. Thanks for a great recipe.

I made it a tad healthier with evaporated milk instead of cream. The flavor was terrific and any lack of creaminess was caused by my changes.

This was ok, but when I took out the eggs and used a good brandy instead, I much preferred it. I used to adore Irish Cream but over the years it got to be too much and was in too many things where it didn't belong at times so I purchase something similar made with brandy called Cask and Cream. This is personal taste and no reflection on a wonderful recipe, thanks for sharing! Scotch whiskey, Scottish are the people Mirj hehehehe! :)) My dad would have wanted me to fix that. Don't blame me, the dad made me do it! LOL All in good fun!
