Baileys Red Velvet Is Now Available In The UK And YUM

If you, like us, are partial to a slice of red velvet cake once in a while, then you're going to want Baileys latest special edition.

The Irish cream liqueur company launched a Red Velvet flavour in America this autumn, but after weeks of waiting, we can now finally purchase it in the UK.

The sweet treat has been made in collaboration with a US bakery, and is said to taste exactly like the much loved deep red chocolate cake, which is traditionally iced with a delicious cream cheese frosting.

While the silky drink will share the same flavours as the cupcake, it promises not to be "too sweet' and "has cocoa running through it to provide a slight but irresistible richness".

We'll take ten bottles please.

It comes in a 750ml bottle that has a 17 per cent alcohol by volume content - so make sure you drink responsibly.

Unfortunately, it's not available in supermarkets or on the shelves of any liquor stores, but you can now pre-order it online through drinks retailer The Bottle Club for £17.99.

Any orders made will then be shipped on Friday 27th December 2019, meaning you can have your bottle in time for New Year celebrations. Yaaaas.

This isn't the first time that Baileys has put a twist on its OG formula.

Recently, Salted Caramel Baileys was launched in supermarkets as a limited edition delight, joining their staple flavours: Original, Almande, Chocolate Luxe, Coffee and Orange Truffle.

The Red Velvet option also joins the limited edition Strawberries and Cream flavour, which is still available on some online drink retailers following its launch back in June.

Oh, and if that's not enough to fill your drink cabinet, you can now even get a Baileys advent calendar, too.

That's right. ASDA is selling a calendar stuffed full of with bottles of the delicious liqueur. And the best part? It's only £20.

The advent calendar has 12 doors, but given the fact you get two shots worth of Baileys in each, you can easily make it last the whole time.

Each bottle is 5cl, meaning you get a total of 60cl of Bailey's in the whole calendar.

Happy boozing, folks.
