Bailey's Irish Cream isn't usually associated with summer, but all that is about to change with the debut of Bailey's Colada – the latest seasonal flavor from the iconic brand.
Bailey's Colada is essentially a tropical take on the brand's signature Irish Cream liqueur. The new spirit is inspired by Piña Colada cocktails and boasts summer-ready flavors like pineapple and creamy coconut. The drink is a limited-edition flavor and clocks in at 17% ABV per bottle. As for how to enjoy this topical take on Bailey's, the brand suggests enjoying the liqueur over ice, mixed into a cocktail, or even poured over ice cream for a boozy dessert.
Bailey's Colada is now available wherever liquor is sold in the U.S., but only for a limited time.
