LIQUOR STORE OWNER SAYS BAILEYS IRISH CREAM IS A WASTE OF MONEY, SHARES WHAT TO GET INSTEAD

Big Bear (@bigbearwine) liquor store extraordinaire who regularly posts boozy-related content to TikTok. 

Recently he shared a tip for fans of Bailey’s Irish Cream liqueur. He claims that you don’t need to shell out all of that money for a single bottle and that there is an alternative not many people consider.

According to the liquor connoisseur—the next best thing (or an identical offering according to numerous viewers who watched his clip) is Ryan’s.

If you’re on a budget I have an alternative to Bailey’s that’s gonna save you $18. That’s right, $18,” he says. “And that alternative is Ryan’s Irish Creme, and it sits on the shelf for about $12.”

“Now, before I get a bunch of hate in the comments, people saying it’s $12 for a reason… Yeah, I don’t know why it’s $12. ‘Cause they absolutely can sell this for more than $12,”

I mean all day long it should compete with Bailey’s. I just did a side-by-side taste comparison, and man, I…they’re both good products. 

Don’t get me wrong—Bailey’s, great product, I mean it’s the number one Irish Cream for a reason, but this? This is definitely up there.

Commenters who replied to Big Bear’s post began sharing their favorite Bailey’s alternatives. A Costco offering was recommended by a user “I buy Kirkland’s Irish Cream from Costco. Taste exactly like Bailey’s. 1.75 liter for $25.”
