I hardly ever drink alcohol, but when I do, Baileys is one of my favorite drinks. That’s why I’m in love with this Vegan Baileys recipe, and I wanna share it with you for Saint Patrick’s Day.
Our Vegan Baileys is healthier, lighter, so sweet, creamy and you won’t even find the difference! I like even more than original Baileys, and it’s ready in less than 5 minutes!
This recipe is dairy-free, so if you have lactose intolerance, you can enjoy it. In addition, is sugar-free because we’ve used agave syrup, but you can also use maple syrup or honey (if you’re not vegan). Maybe you’ll want to add more whiskey, it’s your choice.
This time we’ve used coconut milk, but you can also use almond milk, we love both.
To make Baileys we’ve used Irish whiskey, we like Jameson, it’s our favorite, but if you prefer, you can use other kind or brand of whiskey.
We don’t usually make recipes using alcohol or coffee because we don’t consume them in our daily lives, but this is a special day and we wanna celebrate Saint Patrick’s Day with an Irish drink.
Now we invite you to make this Vegan Baileys, pour yourself a drink and let’s toast. Happy Saint’s Patrick Day!

I take it when you say “coffee” you mean American style drip coffee? European coffee is very much different (ie it actually tastes nice!)
Hi Felipe! We used brewed coffee 🙂 I think it was European!
Do you think you could use Oat Milk instead?
Hi Caroline! Feel free to use oat milk instead of coconut milk 🙂 Hope you enjoy it!
SO good! Better than original Bailey’s and easier than you’d think to make! I didn’t follow the recipe to a T, as I wanted to make it sugar free but it definitely needs some sweetness to it. I added cocoa too and could probably do the same with cinnamon! Love it!

Hi Lauren! That sounds good 🙂 So glad you liked it! Have a nice day!
Lumpy and salty, my kids were not impressed. Back to regular baileys for our family.
Hi Karem! I’m so sorry to read that 🙁 Have you follow the instructions to a to T?
This recipe is absolutely fantastic! I used homemade coconut milk, which was rather watery, but still, the result was almost perfect, and next time I will use a different kind of milk.

Hello Judith, sounds so great 🙂 Thanks for your comment!
You can tell the difference but I loooooove this recipe. Very yummy and I think I even prefer this to the original (I used coconut milk).
Serve with ice and down the hatch

Hi Nala! So glad you like it 🙂

Hi Jacqui! So glad you enjoyed it 🙂 Have a nice day!
Tried this for christmas using a can of coconut milk but it was extremely thick and I ended up with Baileys cream instead!
Not disappointed! It was lovely on deserts and a dollop in hot chocolate tasted gorgeous.
Hi Sarah! Try to use a brand of coconut milk with less fat or add half coconut milk and half soy, almond or any other plant milk if you’re looking for a less thick texture. I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Hi! How long does it keep? Thank you I’m looking fwd to trying this!
Hi Nana! Up to a week 🙂
How long does this last for in the fridge before you have to discard it?
Hi Amanda! About 1 week or so 🙂
followed recipe exactly as stated and it curdled loads and separated into a big lump of cream and a liquid within about 15 seconds, the liquid part tastes ok, and it didn’t look like it would curdle when stirred together. so will try again mixing with a spoon instead of in the blender
Hi Robert! I’m so sorry the recipe didn’t work for you. Hope it works next time!
This recipe is fantastic!! So straightforward, quick, and delicious. Like some other commenters, I added a bit of extra whiskey, but that’s just a personal preference – the recipe is great as is too! I substituted maple syrup as that is what I had on hand.
★★★★★
Hi Hayley! Sounds so good 🙂 I’m glad you liked it!
Hi, do you think maple syrup would work as an aletrnative to agave syrup?
Thanks!
Hi Cassie! Yes, maple syrup is also a good choice 🙂
This was simple and a really good substitute for traditional Bailey’s.

Hi Amy! So glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Did you use instant coffee? Just curious. Thanks!
Hi Roxanne! No, I didn’t, I used brewed coffee 🙂
I used to buy the Bailey’s Almonde for my coffee. This recipe is exceptional and will save me so much money. I added a 3/4 tsp. of instant espresso granules to bump up the coffee flavor, used the vanilla and slightly less agave because I don’t like it too sweet. I used the rest of my bottle of Jameson’s which was a little over 1/3 cup, mixed it and it is back in the Jameson’s bottle for use in my coffee. Thanks!

Hi Cheryl! Sounds great 🙂 You’re so welcome!
Hi, I forgot to say I can’t have coconut in any form so I made my vegan Baileys with cashew milk, with a bit less water and as I said it definitely did the trick for me!
Hi Deborah! I’m so glad it worked for you 🙂
Hi, this sounds gr8! Did you use coconut alternative milk or a tin of coconut milk?
Hi Louise! I used canned coconut milk 🙂
Ooh, gorgeous, haven’t had Baileys for 8/9 Christmas’s since giving up dairy. I won’t be missing out again!
THNK YOU

Hi Deborah! I’m so happy to hear that 🙂 Enjoy!
Should the coffee be cooled before blending? I won’t be drinking it straight away
Hi Danielle! Yes, it’s better not to use hot coffee 🙂
Just made this and it’s delicious! Best recipe I’ve used👍🏻
I did double the whisky 😬
Thank you!
★★★★★
Hi Sally! So glad you liked it 🙂 You’re so welcome!
Wow, this is exceptionally nice and extremely easy to make. A complete hit! I used Canadian whiskey as it was all I had.
★★★★★
Hi Judi! So glad you liked it 🙂
Mine curdled big time 😕 Any advice please?
Hi Jen! I’m so sorry the recipe didn’t work for you. Have you used the same ingredients and followed all the steps? Did you use almond or coconut milk?
This is the best!! Thank-you!
Hi Elaine! Thank YOU, so glad you liked it 🙂
When you say 1/4 coffe how much granulated coffe is that?
Hi Emily! I used brewed coffee, so I can’t help you, sorry!
I actually made it with dark rum I used Havana 7 year old and added a little oat cream to make it thicker……it was devine
This recipe will last for several months, I also kept it in n the fridge.
★★★★★
Hi Darren! So glad you liked it 🙂 Sounds AMAZING. Have a nice day!
How long will this keep in the fridge? Thanks
Hi Megan! For up to a week 🙂
Hi. Just made this for Vegan GF.
I also added a heaped teaspoon of cocoa powder ( and considerably more Jamesons lol). With organic tinned coconut milk a little curdling occured but did not spoil it in the least. Very very nice indeed. Thanks.
( we were both very dissapointed with Bailey Almande). This beats it hands down.

Hi! So glad you liked it 🙂
I am so amazed that I haven’t found this recipe until now. Thanks, Tuija from Finland
Hi Tuija! So glad you like it 🙂
Just a quick note – just because it’s agave syrup or honey or anything else doesn’t mean that there is no sugar inside. honey and agave syrup are full of sugar. It is just not reffined…
Apart from that: Great recipe! Loved it
Hi Berry! Thanks a lot for your comment 🙂
