Homemade Baileys Irish Cream (This is but one of many, many recipes for it online, so feel free to look at others if you wish) 

Ingredients

•1 cup light cream (I used heavy whipping cream, which made it even richer)

• 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk

• 1 2/3 cup Irish whiskey (I used Jameson's)

• 1 teaspoon instant coffee

• 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup

• 1 teaspoon vanilla

• 1 teaspoon almond extract (You can skip this if you wish, or not.)

Instructions

1. Combine all ingredients in a blender and set on high speed for 30 seconds.

2. Bottle in a tightly sealed container and refrigerate. Shake before using.

3. Will keep for up to 2 months.

I’m sure you can think up some hot weather uses for this one, can’t you?
