If you ask us, this is definitely the best way to nab your Christmas Baileys for 2024.

For those of you after Baileys Christmas cocktails, this is the place to be. The Absolutely Fabulous Darling (£10) from The Chocolate Cocktail Club pairs the Irish liqueur with kahlua, and chocolate of course. Additionally, the Nutty for Chocolat (£10) combines Baileys, gingerbread, amaretto and coconut. These dreamy drinks are just the thing to get you in the festive spirit, and they're beautifully presented too.
Maxwell's Bar & Grill
This Covent Garden favourite is dreaming up new Baileys Christmas flavours in their delicious seasonal cocktails. Maxwell's Bar & Grill is home to the Baileys Banana Colada (£10), which is a mix of the liqueur with Malibu and coconut cream, making for a tropical delight in the cold London winter. Best of all?
