The Baileys cappuccino is a delicious hot alcoholic drink perfect to enjoy in the late afternoon or as an after dinner. It is very easy to prepare, a classic cappuccino to which the Irish cream whiskey liqueur, commonly known by the brand name Baileys, is then added. The first time I tasted cappuccino with whiskey cream was on a school trip to Prague years ago.
