The Best Baileys Coffee Recipes

The 5 Best Baileys Coffee Recipes

It's no secret that we're obsessed with Baileys coffees. Back in summer, we teamed up with fellow B Corp Baileys to launch an exclusive menu of iced coffee cocktails in our cafés.

They went down very, very well. So well that we've collaborated again for winter, combining our speciality-grade coffee with Baileys Original Irish Cream once more in alcohol-free, home-compostable coffee pods. Shop them here. 

Adding a bit of Baileys to your coffee is a treat we can't get enough of. From hot and iced Irish coffees to Baileys espresso martinis and cream float cappuccinos, Baileys coffee is always a good idea. 

These are our top five recipes, so you can recreate your favourite café orders at home.
