In 1973, I invented a ‘girly drink’ called Baileys

quote [ My dinner-party party piece for many years was to say, “Well, actually, I invented Baileys. You know, Baileys Irish Cream. I did that back in 1973.” ]

You ever drink Bailey’s from a shoe?

Talk about a downstairs mix up.

I'm a big fan of Baileys. As a man, I could give a fuck if people call it girly. My masculinity isn't so fragile. It's arguably my favorite drink. And it has an interesting history.

So, you're telling us that you're gay?

If a guy is gonna buy me a Bailey's, sure. And if I have to make out with him, so be it.

...wait, where was I going with this, again?

Back to his place, by the sound of it.

The other article that's mentioned at the end is interesting too.

Weirdly enough I read both this morning following a link from the FT. Agreed they are good yarns. Annoyingly there is no e-book and I don't think I want to drop 25 pounds plus shipping to read the rest.

I'd like to give the gorilla snot a shot.

Loathe Baileys...it coats my palate like thrush. Now...Myer's Rum Cream—there's an addition to coffee I like! It's got a solid kick to the head of rum (it tastes like you're drinking booze and not unicorn cum) and it elevates the worst coffee to a remarkable beverage,

Drop a shot of sambucca in your coffee on a cold morning. Breakfast of champions.

My great-grandpa drank Sambucca after dinner sometime but I was too young to try it. To the point, irish cream is our go to "weekend" coffee creamer but I may have to try the Myer's Rum.

Baileys instead of milk for your hot chocolate base, delicious.

I just use the office coffee machine to make a hot chocolate mixed with an espresso.

But I have to pull the mug out of the machine after it dispenses the coffee or chocolate, because I've noticed that afterwards it squirts a lot of boiling water into the mug. I'm not putting up with my office watering down the coffee.

I see your Baileys hot chocolate and raise you Coco-pops made with White Russian instead of milk.

Chocolate banana milkshake with bourbon.

Your liver will hate me for that.
