by · Manchester Evening News

With Christmas just around the corner, many households will be gearing up to replenish their drinks cabinets. With just over six weeks to go until December 1, there's not too much time until the festivities kick off officially.

For those who enjoy a tipple, Baileys is a must-have. The alcoholic drink combines the sweetest meeting of fine Irish whiskey and spirts, dairy cream and rich chocolate and vanilla flavours that's perfect as a standalone drink or served over ice cream 'for a sophisticated twist'.

Right now, shoppers can pick up a massive one litre bottles of Baileys for just £13 on Amazon. That's a whopping 41% saving off its usual RRP of £22. It's also available at Tesco for £22 and Sainsbury's for £21.95 - but these options don't come with the added convenience of free next day delivery for Prime members.

Baileys Original Irish Cream Liqueur is rated 4.9 out of five by over 14,000 Amazon customers and is a best-selling product, with 8,000 purchases of the 1-litre bottle in the past month alone. Among reviewers, an astonishing 90% have rated it five stars out of five, as MyLondon reports.

One happy customer wrote: "Purchasing Baileys Original Irish Cream Liqueur at a price cheaper than the supermarkets is a fantastic find. The quality and taste are just as excellent as ever, making it a great value for money. If you come across this deal, don’t hesitate to take advantage of it. Enjoying the creamy, smooth taste of Baileys without the usual price tag is a delightful experience."

Another used described it as 'the perfect Christmas gift', adding: "You can’t go wrong with this delicious liqueur around the holidays, and for this price, it’s a wonderful present for others in the family. I order this every year for my mum and every year she enjoys it. It’s a great quality spirit and comes in a cute bottle."

But not everyone was convinced. One customer wrote: "I like the idea of cream liqueurs but they always end up being a bit sickly for me. I thought I'd try this at half price - still not exactly a bargain for what it is as a somewhat unrefined drink. I attempted giving it the oomph it needs to balance the creamy sweetness by adding whisky, but I won't be trying again."

If you're looking for an alternative liqueur buzzing with flavours, you may be interested to try Mozart Chocolate Cream Pumpkin Spice Liqueur, described as: "A great autumnal drink and - thanks to its fun packaging - also perfect for Halloween. Melding chocolate, caramel, pumpkin juice, cinnamon, clove, vanilla and a little chilli".

It's Available for £14.75 from the Whisky Exchange, £16.49 from Drinks Supermarket, and £17.95 from House of Malt. The one litre bottle of Baileys is also available at most supermarkets including Tesco, Sainsbury's and Asda.
