Baileys has launched a new limited edition flavour of its signature Irish cream liqueur.
Last year Baileys released a limited edition Pina Colada flavour and it has followed it up with a new Eton Mess flavour for 2022. The Eton Mess Baileys is based on the dessert made up of meringue and summer berry flavours. The new bottle is priced at £19.99 from The Bottle Club.
Rishi Lakhani, Managing Director at The Bottle Club said: “Now that spring is officially upon us, and we’ve had a glimpse of the warm summer weather to come, Baileys has once again provided us with the perfect limited edition to toast the new season.

“Eton Mess is a classic summer dessert and now its beautiful flavour can be enjoyed with a classic Baileys Irish Cream Liqueur twist, ice cold over ice – ideal for winding down on a summer evening. As with all Baileys’ limited editions, we’re expecting demand to soar so be advised to purchase quickly to avoid missing out!”
Baileys says the new limited edition drink can be mixed with vodka and milk, along with a swirl of cream, to create Eton Mess Martini cocktails and it has shared a recipe for a boozy Eton Mess using the new drink.
The recipe is:
For the pink meringues:
- 3 x large egg whites
- 175g caster sugar
- 1 tbsp freeze-dried raspberries, crushed
- Pink food colouring
For the strawberry sauce:
- 225g strawberries, hulled and roughly chopped
- 150 fresh raspberries
- 75g caster sugar
For the mess:
- 500g strawberries, raspberries and blueberries
- 600ml double cream
- 200ml Baileys Eton Mess
- Freeze-dried raspberries, crushed
- Fresh mint, finely shredded
METHOD
- Preheat your oven to 12°C, fan 100°C, gas ½. Line a baking sheet with baking paper. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. Gradually add the sugar, a spoonful at a time, whisking well after each addition, until you have a stiff and glossy meringue.
- Remove a third of the meringue into another bowl and mix through the freeze-dried raspberries and enough pink colouring until pink. Then fold this into the white meringue until just marbled. Spoon dollops of the mixture onto the baking parchment, cook on the bottom shelf of the oven for 2 hours until the meringues are completely hard and come off the paper easily. Leave to go cold.
- For the strawberry sauce whiz the strawberries and raspberries with a hand blender until pureed. Pour into a pan with the caster sugar and bubble for 2-3 minutes until slightly reduced and syrupy. Leave to go cold.
- Slice or halve the juicy strawberries, depending on size. Break the meringues into chunky pieces.
- Prepare yourself, this is where we start to level up on deliciousness. For each serving pour 25ml Baileys Eton Mess into 4 glasses. Then layer it up with whipped cream, berries, meringue, and strawberry puree. Now drizzle another 25ml Baileys Eton Mess on top with a sprinkling of freeze-dried raspberries and fresh mint.
