According to unwritten etiquette rules, it is forbidden to give alcohol to a girl in a bouquet of sweets. But Belize liquor is a special drink.
In one sip of it lies the whole gamut of feelings that embrace the representative of the beautiful half of humanity at the sight of a box of high-quality chocolates. This liqueur is perceived, rather, as a dessert, because it harmoniously combines cream, caramel, vanilla. But this sweetness makes the beloved's eyes shine, her
cheeks burn, and her heart beat faster.
In fairness, it should be noted that the Belize liquor is liked not only by the ladies, but also by the courageous macho. Still, real Irish whiskey took part in the preparation of the drink (and to a large extent!). Just its pungent taste was softened with cream and caramel. And in the liquor add cocoa, sugar, vegetable oil. In addition to the classic Bailey's, there are varieties: with coffee, mint and more. Despite the absence of preservatives, the liquor can be stored indefinitely, cream in perfect mix with alcohol does not deteriorate. And the strength of the drink is quite palpable - seventeen degrees.
Since Belize liquor has a bitter-sugary taste, it is served as a digestif, that is, after a meal. Unlike aperitifs, such drinks do not stimulate appetite, but help the stomach digest what was eaten at dinner. Baileys can also be served with desserts, but not with all. Since the 19th century, it has been served with ice cream or coffee. Gradually, a modern tradition has developed for Baileys to drink Italian desserts, such as tiramisu, panna cat.
If the drink is served independently, then use a liquor glass. It looks like a wine glass, only smaller. And if you include Baileys in cocktails, then take a martini glass. Do not mix this liquor with soda or juices - cream may curdle. It will turn out most successfully if you sprinkle it with cocoa, grated chocolate, combine with syrups. But you can invite guests to add Belize liqueur to coffee as a cream substitute. Then the Arabian drink should be sugar free. If you have ice cream or fruit salad for dessert, then liquor will also be an appropriate addition. It can be served separately, in glasses, or it is possible with imagination: mixed with topping or sauce. Of the fruits, strawberries and bananas are most harmoniously combined with Bailey's.
But Belize is also used to make some desserts. The recipe for banana "boats" is very simple. Cut peeled bananas along, take out the core with a spoon. Mix this pulp with nuts or cream cheese, softened ice cream or fruit. Start with this mixture of "boat". Pour over the dessert with melted chocolate mixed with creamy alcohol.
The question arises: "Is it possible to make Belize yourself?" Liquor at home is very simple with a mixer. We mix three eggs, a glass of sugar, three tablespoons of instant coffee, a bag of vanillin, half a can of boiled condensed milk and a can of concentrated milk without sugar and beat for ten minutes at maximum speed. Then we pour in 300 ml of vodka and switch the mixer to a low speed. Beat just a minute, then pour into bottles and let it brew for three days in the refrigerator.
