What kind of cows make your liquor? This is an important question for the makers of Bailey's Irish Cream. Nearly 40,000 top-bred Irish dairy cows contribute cream to make the world's most popular liqueur. It's blended with pure Irish whiskey and a proprietary cocoa extract to make one of the best-selling alcoholic beverages on the planet. What can you mix it with? Nothing and practically anything. All by itself, perhaps on the rocks, it makes a smooth sipper. It's very friendly with coffee, hot cocoa and other liqueurs. Amaretto, peppermint schnapps, cinnamon liqueur or whiskey all get along nicely with Bailey's in a hot drink.
