Baileys is bringing back mint flavour... with a twist

Baileys is bringing back a fan favourite flavour of its creme liqueur, but with a twist.

Yep, you've been asking for mint baileys to make a comeback, and now it has...but better!

This time it's making a return in the form of a Mint Choc Shake – a blend of classic Irish cream with flavours of mint, dark chocolate, and vanilla.

You might remember us telling you how a Vanilla Mint Baileys drink launched in the US last year, but now UK shoppers will be able to get their hands on their own chocolatey version.

Even better, if you ask us!

The drink will first be appearing in select bars and restaurants from March 11th, to welcome in St Patrick's Day.

However, it'll also be in supermarkets including Sainsbury's, Co-op, Asda, Morrisons, Tesco, and Amazon from April 1st, and you'll be able to get your hands on it from £17 a bottle.

It has been dubbed an “adult twist on a classic treat, perfect for any St Patrick’s Day celebration," and beyond!

To make the milkshake, add 50ml of the Mint Chocolate Baileys into a blender alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Baileys says you can also enjoy this bevvy as a Mint Choc Sipper by pouring 50ml into a 75ml glass and garnishing it with whipped cream and chocolate shavings.

The tipple also works nicely in a shot, or tipped over your fave ice cream.

Charlotte Gibbon, director of Baileys at Diageo said: "At Baileys, we’re sticking to our Irish roots by launching Mint Choc Shake around St Patrick’s Day. 

"Treating should be an everyday occasion, but our latest limited edition flavour offers a completely unique experience to shake things up this year. Delicious on its own or enjoyed as the Mint Choc Shake and Mint Choc Sipper, our new flavour is perfect for mint lovers."

The news comes after Aldi also recently send shoppers wild by announcing the arrival of their new Ballycastle liqueur, flavoured to taste like Creme Eggs.

Perfect for Easter, the sweet bottle costs £7.69 for a 70cl, and is only available for a limited time. Go, go, go!
