From creamy lattes to cocktails: Baileys’ new oat milk liqueur is a game-changer

Creamy coffee cocktails without the cream

The oat milk trend has taken off recently, offering a plant-based milk with a texture and taste similar to dairy milk. While many coffee lovers are excited to enjoy a creamy oat milk latte, Baileys Irish Cream has taken the oat milk trend one step further. Known as the creator of Original Irish Cream Liqueur, Baileys has just launched a permanent non-dairy cream option made with oat milk.

I love the taste of Baileys and coffee together. Yet, it never occurred to me that those who don’t consume dairy might miss out on this excellent flavor pairing (what a shame). With this new launch, those who avoid dairy or are sensitive to dairy can still enjoy the same signature creaminess Baileys Irish Cream is known for. The new blends are available in two flavors: Coffee Toffee and Cookies & Creamy — perfect for making non-dairy coffee cocktails at home.

Baileys Coffee Toffee Brown Sugar Shaken Oat Milk Latte

This spirited version of a Brown Sugar Shaken Latte makes me think of Dunkin’s latest Sabrina Carptener Brown Sugar Shakin’ Espresso (only better). Simple to make with the right balance of espresso flavor and sweetness, I don’t see a bad time to make this coffee cocktail.

Baileys Cookies & Creamy Oat Milk Dalgona

Baileys Dalgona
Baileys Irish Cream

This delicious cocktail is inspired by dalgona coffee, a coffee topped with a foamy whipped topping. Of course, this version is more of a dessert cocktail than a coffee with the addition of crushed cookies and cream cookies and chocolate syrup. This cocktail resembles an adult version of plant-based chocolate milk mixed with coffee. Something tells me this coffee cocktail will become a staple in my household.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 ounces Baileys Cookies & Creamy Non-Dairy Liqueur made with oat milk
  • 4 ounces oat milk
  • 2-3 crushed cookies and cream cookies
  • Chocolate syrup

For dalgona topper garnish

  • 2 teaspoons instant coffee
  • 2 teaspoons brown sugar
  • 1 dash warm water
  • 1 dash chocolate syrup

Method

  1. Add a layer of chocolate syrup to the bottom of a highball glass and set aside.
  2. Mix Baileys Cookies & Creamy Non-Dairy Oat Milk Liqueur, oat milk, and crushed cookies and cream cookies in a separate glass.
  3. Add ice to the glass with chocolate syrup and pour in the mixture.
  4. To make dalgona topper, add ingredients to a bowl and use a hand frother to froth for 1-2 minutes until the mixture has doubled in size and has a mousse texture.
  5. Top the glass with dalgona topper.
  6. Serve in a highball glass and enjoy!

What your daily cup of coffee is really doing to you, new study explores
How your coffee habits unknowingly affect your health
Long black coffee

Do you know what your morning cup of coffee does to you? As it turns out, researchers from Tufts University have been asking this same question. A recent study published in The Journal of Nutrition examined the coffee-drinking habits of over 45,000 Americans from 1998 to 2018.  This observational study analyzed data from the National Death Index Mortality Data, suggesting that individuals who consumed one to three cups of black coffee had a 14% lower risk of all-cause mortality and cardiovascular disease mortality compared to those who did not.

In addition to this key finding, the recently published study also found that individuals who drank more coffee achieved even better results. Those who had 2 to 3 cups of coffee had a 17% lower risk of all-cause mortality. However, the findings suggest that this research only applies to those who drank their coffee black. Adding cream and sugar to your coffee, even in small amounts, could completely negate the potential benefits of drinking black coffee. This study's findings come at a time when black coffee is on the rise, as health-focused coffee drinkers have begun to find new ways to eliminate added sugar and cream from their morning coffee.
"The health benefits of coffee consumption may be diminished when sugar and saturated fat are added," the study researchers concluded. It's also worth noting that this observational study only examined individuals who drank regular caffeinated coffee and did not explore the benefits associated with drinking decaf coffee. While this study suggests a correlation between coffee consumption and lower all-cause mortality, it does not necessarily indicate a causal relationship.
