Bailey’s Comet is not a holiday specific cocktail. Think of this as an all season luxury cocktail. This is one of those cocktails I think of as a special treat drink. You know, when it has been an especially long day and you want a little bit of indulgence. Bailey’s Comet is thick and rich with the kiss of extravagant sweetness you’re looking for.

Bailey’s Comet is a great drink to make for girlfriends, make as a batch recipe for the after-hours office holiday party, or make for yourself while wrapping holiday presents and listening to Christmas carols. Bailey’s Comet is just a feel good, creamy cocktail delight.

The recipe is meant for cocktail style serve, but it could easily be poured over ice for simpler serve. Go all out with creamy decadence by adding a scoop or two of vanilla ice cream to the ingredient list (minus club soda) and mix it all in a blender. Swirl a little chocolate syrup on the inside of a large martini glass. Pour the mixture into the chocolate swirled glass and experience a true luxury cocktail.
