Bailey's Irish Cream is made with cream, Irish whiskey, an emulsifier (containing refined vegetable oil) a cocoa extract blend, sugar cane and sugar beet, and a few other secret ingredients

What is the difference between liquor and liqueur?

Liquor is any kind of alcoholic drink or distilled spirit, and liqueur is just a flavored and/or sweetened liquor. Typically, liqueur is sweetened with fruits, herbs, spices, flowers, or nuts. Liqueur can also refer to cream combined with distilled spirits, like in the case of Bailey's

How many carbs are in whiskey?

Whiskey has zero carbs for a 1 ounce serving.

Is Whiskey gluten free?

Yes, it is. In fact many liquors are gluten free - vodka, rum, gin, tequila, and brandy, to name a few.

What sweeteners can I use?

My preferred sweetener for this low carb Irish cream recipe is powdered monkfruit, but you can use any low carb sweetener you prefer.
