Personal: Bailey's Mint Chocolate

I was able to spot this new addition to Bailey's "flavours" in a liquor store at Robinson's Galleria. The impulse buyer in me strikes again as I immediately, without any hesitations, grabbed one box (the bottle is inside a box because it has a free cocktail shaker). The next day, I realized that my allowance is Php 690 short...Darn!

I'm not sure though if Mint Chocolate is the one that we had before. I was actually looking for that sweet and "chocalate-y" Bailey's the family had a few years back when our relatives from the US celebrated New Year's Eve with us at Frasers Place in Makati. Last New Year, my family celebrated New Year's Eve with a bottle of Bailey's again, but that time we bought Irish Cream, which all of us, after a couple of sips, don't want to try again. We were not actually sure then if it was the one we had before. Damn, our guess was wrong.

Ron, a colleague and friend, told me that it was something like Creme de Cacao. I tried looking for it, but failed. Well, I'm hoping that this one will taste good, if not better.

They actually had a booth in GB3, in front of National Sports Grill where they were handling out free samples of both of the new Bailey's flavors (mint and caramel). :-)

I tried both and didn't particularly like them. I think that the ladies giving them away poured them out too early. They had left the liquor lying out there in plastic cups so by the time I tried them the alcohol was the predominant flavor.

Try mo lang ulit. :-p
