Bailey's Dream Shake
A rich and creamy frozen delight that combines the smooth, warming notes of Baileys Irish Cream with the chill of vanilla ice cream. This refreshing adult milkshake is perfect for cooling down on a hot summer day.
What it tastes like
The aroma is dominated by vanilla and milky cocoa. It has a thick, velvety mouthfeel with a cooling effect on the palate. The taste is primarily sugary dairy with a faint undercurrent of Irish whiskey, leading to a long, creamy finish.
