The food is delicious, the detailed instructions are very easy to follow, thank you so much for sharing them with me.
I have read your post very carefully and I just want to say that the information you shared is really great and I have learned a lot from it.
I first tasted Bailey’s one night after chess club at the club president’s home. Everytime after then, I always remember then.
I recommend storing it in the refrigerator.
Sounds delicious but does it need to be refrigerated!!
Really very easy to prepare a cocktail. When my friends next time organize a party, I will offer to make this cocktail. Hope they like it.
Thanks, Amy!
