Baileys is now £13 on Amazon ahead of the festive season – but you’ll have to be quick

Christmas will be here soon and with winter in full swing, it’s the perfect time to buy a few bottles or pick up gifts for friends and family.

Baileys is an Irish liqueur with a luxurious, creamy taste and can be used to make drinks or desserts.

The drink has been enjoyed since 1971, and is a favourite with many, and a household staple for entertaining in the colder months.

Amazon has slashed the price of the one-litre bottle in its Black Friday sale, taking it from £22 to just £13, for a large quantity of Bailey’s.

Buy: Baileys Original Irish Cream Liqueur 1L (£13)

The drink is Amazon’s number-one bestseller in liqueurs, beating rum, gin and amaretto to the top spot.

When Baileys is reduced at this time of year, it often proves popular with shoppers, and has been known to sell out.

It’s worth mentioning that this is not the cheapest price drop ever seen on Baileys, and the festive drink has been reduced to £10 in the past, however, it could also go up to full price at any time.

If you’re not a fan of Baileys and prefer fruitier flavours, Kraken Black Cherry & Madagascan Vanilla Black Spiced Rum is another festive alternative that’s also discounted in Amazon’s Black Friday.

Many enjoy Baileys by simply pouring it straight over ice, or it can also be enjoyed in hot drinks, to take a hot chocolate or a cup of coffee up a notch.

If you really want to impress guests over Christmas and New Year, putting Baileys in a cocktail can add an extra bit of decadence to an evening.
