Baileys Chocolate is the chocolate version of the Baileys liqueur. According to the brand's British page, it is Baileys Original Irish Cream combined with Belgian chocolate, with a smooth, rich texture and the taste of melted chocolate. Its strength in the United Kingdom is 15.7% ABV, lower than the Original.
The base is the same cream liqueur: Irish whiskey with spirit and Irish cream. The page does not give a full ingredient list, so we do not state the exact recipe. Allergens: milk and dairy products, including lactose; recipes on the page are marked 'Contains: Milk'. The brand suggests serving it chilled or pouring it over desserts, as with the Original.
Why this matters to you. Strength can differ between countries, so check the label on your own bottle rather than this figure alone. Compare the chocolate version with the Original by taste and strength, not by name. The WHO reminds us that there is no safe dose of alcohol.
