When we went on our Caribbean cruise last October, my friend Peggy told me about Baileys Banana Coladas (popularly known as BBCs). Our big plan was to have one while we cruised the islands, but we never got around to actually doing it. Peggy kindly emailed the recipe so I could try it at home.

Back at home I was telling my friend/neighbor Cindy about BBCs. She surprised me at Christmas with a beautifully decorated basket filled with a bottle of Baileys Original, Baileys with a Hint of Caramel, a bottle of rum, bags of Ghirardelli chocolates—even bananas.

Other than Peggy’s recipe, I had no idea what concoctions to make with my new bounty. I started looking online, collecting ideas here and there. Then I hit the jackpot at the Baileys web site—lots of different recipes and even desserts are provided. Naturally this meant I needed to make a little Baileys recipe book to hold my new-found collection.

A miniature cocktail shaker Christmas ornament found on clearance ($1) at Jo-Ann’s seemed meant for me, so I tied it on the recipe book with a ribbon. Now I’m ready for any Baileys occasion.

The drink sounds divine, I just happen to have some Baileys in the fridge, will have to give it a try.
If you've never had a Baileys Comet you're missing out: cup of hot coffee, shot of Baileys, shot of Irish whiskey, stir and top with whipped cream - heavenly!
Cheers!

And will you be serving around the pool? It sounds fantastic! I LOVE Pina Coladas so I'm thinking I'll love this too -- thanks for sharing the recipe!
MMMMMMmmmmm...Thanks June! After a few days of having one frustration after another I could use a nice soothing drink of Baileys right about now! :-)
Wow that sounds REALLY good!
Oh my! Now this sounds like a drink I would really love to try. Clever of you to make your own Bailey's Recipe book.

These sound wonderful, minus the banana. LOL
LOVE the little shaker attached to the cookbook. I adore all your little touches.
