    A shot of Baileys with an ice cube.

    I forgot about Bailey’s. I have an unopened bottle on my shelf, way at the back, I got as part of a retirement gift 12/29/17. Is there a shelf life for an unopened bottle of Baileys? I’ll have to give that a Google.

    Have you ever drank bailey's from a shoe? Lol

    Oh my God it's old Gregg 😂😂

    Actually a "good quality red wine" isn't bad. Typically it is more about the mixer - I love mojitos, but I don't want to use a sugar mix. I want the fresh lime - when you go to a bar the prep is more important. Are they using fresh ingredients as mixers or bottles. That's the key. Otherwise I get amaretto on the rocks, or a club soda with volka and muddled mint and lime if they have it.

    I have 3 drinks now.

    1 oz vodka, 5 oz Strawberry Powerade Zero: 64 calories
    1 oz Kahlua, 5 oz diet root beer or cream soda: 53 calories
    1 oz Malibu Coconut Rum, 5 oz Mixed Berry Powerade Zero: 51 calories (tastes like Ocean Water)

    Drink up, these are excellent and I've tried a few dozen mixes to get here.

    You'll have to open it to find out, but I bet its fine. Also, keep in the fridge after you open it. I used to drink Baileys in coffee so I have a good amount of experience with Baileys. Maybe next winter I'll have another bottle of it.

    I very rarely drink, am not a huge fan of strong alcoholic tastes, and never more than 1 or 2 total, so calorie heavy, super sweet, fruity drinks for me lol.

    I'm lucky in that where I live there are a couple of huge entertainment districts and several bars, clubs, restaurants, hell--even coffee shops that serve fresh, unique drinks--both alcoholic and not. I avoid the chain restaurants and go to the local joints where I can get real ingredients (no mixers!). The drinks taste better, are less cloyingly sweet, and probably healthier. Most of the smaller, "hipster" bars will make your drink in front of you so you can see them cut the lime and squeeze it into your drink or whatever.

    White Claw all the way! It's hard seltzer water. No sugar, 100 calories per 12 oz can, 5% alcohol by volume and several yummy flavors to choose from! I also like shots of tequila - around 100 calories per 1.5 ounce. Vodka with seltzer water and real limes or lemons muddled are very good as well - 1.5 ounce of vodka to about 10 ounces of seltzer water which is also around 100 calories.

    Craft beer geek here. I make room for it every day. I've got a bottle of Okie imperial brown ale waiting for me in a few minutes.

    Last time I drank I ordered 1 margarita that was about 270 calories. I don't remember much of the night after that.


    I drink once a year maybe and usually one shot or something. After losing almost 40 pounds I learned that night I can not handle my alcohol anymore.

    Unfortunately, I love the calorific drinks. Disaronno amaretto, black russians, white russians, moscow mules, strawberry daiquiris, etc.
