Originating in Ireland, Baileys Irish Cream is globally renowned and often used in beverages and desserts. This drink is a comforting and indulgent choice, providing about 200-400 calories per serving depending on the amount of Baileys added, with saturated fats and sugars being notable contributors. Its caffeine content comes from the coffee base, while Baileys adds alcohol and cream to the profile.
