Jameson Whisky: 500mL-750mL
Sweetened Condensed Milk: 800-900mL
Heavy/Whipping Cream: 1/2 cup or 120mL
3 tablespoons of honey
3 tablespoons of vanilla extract
2 tablespoons of cocoa powder (NOT SWEETENED)
1 tablespoon instant coffee
<1 tablespoon of ground nutmeg
>Pour your condensed milk, then your cream, then honey and vanilla.
>Mix all dry ingredients together, making sure to finely grind and mix them (especially the instant coffee, it needs to be broken up finely, and the cocoa powder clumps if not mixed thoroughly.
>Evenly distribute dry ingredients on top of wet. Start mixing, then pour whiskey in. Get everything roughly mixed together.
>From here, you can either hand mix/whisk in your bowl/container, or; use a blender or hand blender.
You will have about a litre of Irish cream with this recipe. You can easily add or take away from this recipe.
Enjoy friends!
Is it cheaper than buying it? Some of the cheaper irish cream liquors really aren't too expensive.
In the long run, absolutely.
I'm Canadian so my prices will be a lil different but I'll try and run it dow.
The average, cheap bottle of Irish Liqueur 17%ALC 750mL is like $35 after tax. Not bad up front.
The most expensive reoccurring costs are the condensed milk and whiskey. And kinda the whipping/heavy cream, but only because I cant find a bigger carton.
>Jameson 750mL is ~$40+tax, but I get the 1750mL for $80. So the small bottle either gets you one or two servings, depending on strength preference.
>Condensed milk is maybe $4-$5 a 300mL can, but at costco you can get 3 for $9. You will have to do this each time you make a batch.
>Heavy cream 1L is like $9. There's 8 servings for this recipe in this carton.
>Cocoa powder is like $4. Lots of portions.
>Same for honey. Honey is like $8.
>And vanilla. $5
>and nutmeg too. $5
>Instant coffee can be like $10 but the cheap stuff works just as well.
So like ~$30/35 for the long-lasting ingredients. Each of these ingredients can produce approximately ~50 portions, but probably more, since One tablespoon is 15mL and most of the ingredients are upwards of 300.
The cream is a weird outlier. At $9 for cream (8 portions), its not a super long term ingredient, but not a short term either.
$3 per can of milk x3 = $9, and then whiskey size, but we'll use the 750mL for $40. Thats ~$50 for the more expensive reoccurring cost.
Now i'm not sure what the equation would be to determine the savings, but: If it costs $50 (again worst case) per batch, but your long term costs are like $40, theres gotta be an equation to find where they even out.
Anyway yeah I havent done the math but to me, spending less than $50 on the groceries and between $50-80 on the whiskey for multiple +1L batches is worth it.
>theres gotta be an equation to find where they even out.
X*50+40 <= (Z*31)/0.75
where X is the number of 1L batches you DIY IC, Z is the number of 750ml bottles of Bailey's. Adjust for the price of a bottle in your province.
How much do you fricking drink you degenerate?
Literally just go buy baileys and have it occasionally, who the frick justifies this by making huge batches? Are you drinking the whole litre every night holy shit
I drink every day. 2 ounces of irish cream in my morning coffee, and usually 2 Jameson&Gingerale at night - 1 when I get home from work, and 1 with dinner.
I like making my own stuff, theres a cool feeling you get when you accomplish something.
men are talking here buddy
and when I call myself a man I mean a broken man who has a problem but we're still talkin ova heah
I live in USA and Bailey's is expensive, but I can typically find practically equivalent irish cream for $8.99 so it's a whole different comparison. Nevertheless I have made my own before, I just used some bottom shelf sour mash shit, I don't remember exactly, with instant coffee, heavy cream, sugar, and cocoa powder. No nutmeg or vanilla, though. Even if the price I can get a regular bottle isn't too bad it's still fun to make stuff so I will probably try it out anyway.
Why is your alcohol so expensive? It costs like half as much, where I'm from. Is that standard for Canada?
>checked
Yeah everything fricking expensive in Canada.
liquor in canada is sold through state monoplies and the sin tax is 100%
No one is stopping you from making it yourself, this is PrepHole after all
Distilling is illegal in Canada.
It's perfectly legal to distill at home in Canada though.
I think you need a license and aren't allowed to sell it to anyone unless you start a business and get it approved but if you just want to make some backyard hooch it's fine.
I have a friend who got his distilling license and fricks around with weird grappas and stuff.
>Stop Buying Baileys!
There are many other, better Irish creams
I agree. O'Caseys is my personal favourite.
>Not five farms
How about I just drink the Jameson and skip the rest?
Extremely valid option, I do that as well, but the Irish Cream hides itself nicely in my morning coffee
I'm a brandy man myself. Tried just about everything in coffee, and brandy just hits the spot like nothing else. It has a liveliness that other liquors don't possess. Kahlua is my second choice.
Interesting! I'll have to try it. I dont think ive ever specifically had a brandy ... Aside from cherry brandy liqueur!
Always hated brandy after I drank too much as a teenager and threw up in my bed. But now I'm living in Spain and it's dirt cheap and I've got a taste for it. It's got that kick that feels like burning in your chest but doesn't smell on your breath at all for some reason. It doesn't have that lingering alcohol smell that you get from drinking most liquors.
>It's got that kick that feels like burning in your chest
That is because you drinking dirt cheap brandy.
I actually like to have a shot of whiskey with warm milk and honey at night
> <1 tablespoon of ground nutmeg
Just for the record I'm not saying this is bad or dangerous or saying not to do it...
that said, if you make infusions that involve quantities of nutmeg larger than a pinch or two you really owe it to yourself to read up on the potential physiological effects of it, keeping in mind that there's people who overstate and understate the risks in the extreme. <1 TB won't kill you, even if you used 2TB in that recipe its unlikely that you'd drink it all in one sitting and even if you did you'd probably not experience much, but it has a cumulative effect and takes a while to come down if you do get affected...so over a couple of days you might have an issue.
I only bring it up because I've had this happen with commercial mulled wine where they used nutmeg oil, and while my gf and I were fine the first night we had some, the next night we both had vivid and overwhelming nightmares and sleep paralysis that I recognized as the kind of reaction reported by people who deliberately tripped on it.
Ever have a crazy nightmare where you wake up, breathe a sigh of relief and then slowly realized that you only woke up in your dream? Then you realize you're lucid dreaming and say frick this, I'm waking up and it works, then you breathe sigh of relief and then slowly realize that you only woke up in your dream? Then you do it about a half dozen times so that when you finally really are awake, you can't be sure for a few hours?
To a person the people Ive known personally who did it on purpose all say its the worst trip they've ever done and while most people need more, a tablespoon of the powdered stuff infused in tea or liquor can be enough to make you wish you hadn't ingested it even if you don't get the 30-40 hour experience.
I only bring it up because a lot of people have no clue that it can do this, and it's no fun at all. Enjoy.

Nutmeg requires eating a few table spoons all at once and it only lasts a few hours not a few days. If he drank that fast enough to get the very minor effects of one table spoon of nutmeg the alcohol would completely overshadow it, he would not even notice. If your mulled wine story were true it would be happening all over the western world every holiday season. Get some perspective.
t. has done nutmeg

Thanks for illustrating the "keeping in mind that there's people who overstate and understate the risks in the extreme" part so well.
I could have linked to dozens of pages of people describing their experiences (BOTH good and bad) and dosages that were not excessive or very large at all, but I didn't because they're full of morons such as yourself who spread questionable one-size-fits-all notions of what is or isn't safe and dismiss even the mildest suggestion to be safe and smart about it, many of them quite obviously because they think it's funny that people might take their advice and be miserable for a couple of days.
"According to the case studies from the Illinois Poison Center, even 10 grams (approximately 2 teaspoons) of nutmeg is enough to cause symptoms of toxicity."
https://www.healthline.com/health/high-on-nutmeg#warnings
FYI "approximately 2 teaspoons" is "< 1 tablespoon"
nutmeg lasted me 2-3 days wtf you talking about
proof
Thanks for the advice friend! Luckily theres less than a tablespoon in the more-than-1L batch, so unless someone drinks it all in one go, I doubt thered be an issue. But definitely good to look into!
OP makes the groundbreaking discovery that pre-made products offer convenience and consistency in exchange for money
A 750ml bottle jameson whisky is $49
A 700ml bottle O'Donnell's irish cream is $15
Just don't think it's worth the effort to make
Where the frick do you live? Jameson is like $25 for a liter here in Minnesota.
Seems like this thread is full of Trudyites. They pay dozens of percent tax on everything so their master can sell more of the country to China so the Chinese can rent to Filipinos and Indians. On top of that general truth spirits and alcohol in general has very very low taxes on it in the USA when compared on a global scale, not just compared to Canada.
>nice trips
mm yess they love trudaddys taxes to end racism!!!!
>nice dubs
Yeah tbh im sure youre not saving a whole lot, but the experience of making something is whats worth it to me
that actually sounds tasty! might have to try that tonight! thanks for sharing anon (:
no problem bro 😀
You look at these ingredients and realize it’s mostly sugar, yeah? Even whisky itself has high amounts of sugar, not to mention alcohol affects your blood sugar levels. You could liquify candybars and probably not reach this amount of sugar.
Ever drank Baileys from a shoe?
I'm more of a Frangelico man. How do I make that? Just dump a bunch of hazelnuts in distilled alcohol for a while?
Oh lawd that takes me back
>I'm more of a Frangelico man.
Came here to post this. Ultimate coffee additive.
Canada has government booze. The general baseline price for the cheapest alcohol is around the $1.00CAD/ounce. Price improvements by way of high proof white rums, etc., are very rarely, if at all, available. There are also strange import restrictions on stills (as in picrel) -- the purchaser has to make a legally (nafta?) valid claim of use application.
>this
I hate being canadian. truly a commie c**try.
Stop drinking alcohol.
No
It's literally the same thing for like half the price
don’t do this it makes mustard gas
Is it really supposed to have that much condensed milk? That stuff is pure sugar.
Apparently, the guy claims that this is the original recipe for Baileys. You can theoretically sub a can or two for evaporated milk, but you definitely need some condensed for that sweetness.
How bout stop drinking baileys. Are you some sort of homosexual?
>baileys
for me it's carolans
Got some Carolans in the fridge right now.
carolans is a close second to O'Caseys, but carolans is much more common. O'Caseys is seasonal in most liquor stores near me.
If I was cucknadian, I would just buy a nice still in america, disassemble it, and drive it back over the border and run shine in your VAST VAST wilderness. Seriously, bullshit the borderguards about work machinery or someshit. Thats it. Or just buy a smaller one and hide it in a box. Say its a fancy italian coffee maker you got at those damn americans costco, eh.
after having bourbon cream one single time, i am never going back to baileys.
you owe it to yourself to try it, if you can get it (i've had a hard time finding it outside of kentucky). it is so much more SMOOTH than baileys which has such a hard alcohol kick to it. it's so smooth it's delicious by itself over ice, but my favorite is just in coffee.
Baileys is life and life is baileys.
