I'm a huge Baileys fan, and I've just recently bought two large bottles of Baileys on special offer in the duty free, one with biscotti and one with mint chocolate.

Baileys now do quite a few flavoured versions in the Baileys range as well as the original Baileys Irish cream; Baileys hazelnut, Baileys with a hint of mint chocolate, Baileys with a hint of coffee, and the new Baileys biscotti.

Baileys with a hint of mint chocolate is my favourite flavoured Baileys. It has fresh undertones of mint and hints of dark chocolate. You can smell the mint in this as soon as you open the bottle and pour it into the glass. I would say that the mint is the main flavour, not the chocolate. This has a fairly strong mint flavour, you can taste the mint and to a lesser degree the chocolate instantly. However it is not too strong that it is overpowering, you can still taste the velvety smooth and rich Baileys Irish cream underneath as well.

This is delicious on in its own, served over lots of ice in a glass. It makes a gorgeous addition to a luxurious alcoholic hot chocolate with cream and marshmallows. It is fabulous when poured over ice cream. It works well in cocktails. It is great in blended icy frappe style drinks. You can use this for lots of things, I think that it's a very versatile flavour. The only thing that I wouldn't use it in is coffee, because the mint is the main taste in this I don't think that this particular Baileys makes for good liqueur coffees, a minty coffee?!?

I do buy the mint chocolate Baileys quite a lot, we do normally wait and buy it either on special offer in the supermarket or from the duty free though.
