As the holiday season draws near, many people are reaching for a Terry’s Chocolate Orange to enjoy. This year, fans of the classic treat have a new option to try – a Terry’s Chocolate Orange Baileys flavor.
The newly released limited edition Baileys x Terry’s Chocolate Orange Irish Cream Liqueur, priced at £11, combines the smoothness of Baileys Original Irish Cream with Terry’s distinctive chocolate and tangy orange flavors. I had the opportunity to taste it ahead of the festive season, and one aspect of the experience surprised me.
While some prefer to enjoy their Baileys on the rocks, I personally like to mix mine into a cocktail, even if it’s just with milk.
To fully savor the flavor, I sampled the Terry’s chocolate version both with milk and on its own. The first thing that struck me was its pale color, akin to the original Baileys flavor, rather than the expected brown hue.
Upon tasting it, the zesty orange notes were prominent, although I felt it could have had more chocolate undertones to satisfy my sweet tooth. For those seeking a richer chocolate taste, mixing it with chocolate milk could be a tantalizing option.
Despite my desire for more chocolate intensity, I found the product enjoyable and believe it would make a delightful Christmas gift for a loved one or friend. It could also be a sophisticated addition to festive post-dinner cocktails when paired with whipped cream and chocolate shavings.
The online community has shown great enthusiasm for the flavor since its unveiling on the Baileys Instagram page in September. Comments such as “Oh my God, I need this” and “so good” highlight the excitement surrounding the new release.
While I may not be ready to part with my Terry’s Chocolate Orange just yet, I am certainly looking forward to savoring a glass of the new Baileys version alongside it.
