Author Notes
Christmas spiced easy homemade Baileys is a perfect last minute gift, quick to make but not quick to forget. Christmas is the season of giving and there’s no better gift than something you made with love (and alcohol, ha). I’ve been gifting homemade Baileys for years, starting with a year that I totally forgot my co-workers and needed something easy, quick, inexpensive, and special. The original recipe involved cooking of the pudding with rum. The best part is I could make it any flavor I wanted: chocolate, vanilla, and hazelnut being everyone’s favorite. —Jas
