Review: Baileys Vanilla Mint Shake
Baileys Vanilla Mint Shake will soon be landing on your favorite liquor store shelves. It is one of 13 Baileys Irish Cream varieties now available in the US market. The UK only offers six. With 12 flavors already on board I’m a little surprised mint isn’t one of them, but Baileys Vanilla Mint Shake is Bailey’s third different mint flavored Irish cream liqueur, following the previously made Baileys Mint Chocolate, and Bailey with Hint of Mint Chocolate. I have to admit when I think “vanilla mint shake” the first thing that comes to mind is McDonald’s seasonal Shamrock Shake. McDonalds makes this shake with vanilla soft serve ice cream and mint syrup. Baileys Vanilla Mint Shake is made with Irish Whiskey, fresh dairy cream, Irish spirits, and natural vanilla, mint and chocolate flavors. It pours to a pastel mint green color. The aroma leads with Fannie May Mint Meltaway. The sweet entry is a blend of Andes candy and fresh dairy cream building to a whiskey spiked Shamrock Shake peak. It fades with White Tic Tac mint flavor and finishes with sweet Irish whiskey and mint chocolate chip ice cream taste.
