Christmas will be coming early for anyone passing through Covent Garden during December 7-22, thanks to the Baileys Treat Bar – a haven of pure indulgence and drinkable delights for adults. Because everyone needs a break from Christmas shopping, and what better way to treat yourself than with a festive Baileys tipple?
Step into the Baileys Treat Bar and you’ll be able to create your own bespoke Baileys creation by personalising one of three ridiculously extravagant drinks with a universe of first-class toppings and edible decorations. Remember, the wilder you go here with those tremendous toppings, the better your Instagram pic is going to look.
Or maybe you’d prefer to sample one of our tried and tested festive cocktails instead. There’s the Chocolate Reindeer (made with Baileys Original, Baileys Chocolat Luxe, double cream and whipped cream), Baileys over ice served with a giant Baileys-flavoured marshmallow, and the Salted Caramel Espresso Martini (Baileys Salted Caramel Espresso Martini with a chocolate salted caramel-crumb rim). As you’d expect (and as you’ve probably guessed from those mouth-watering descriptions), these marvellous mixes all come with a generous helping of sheer indulgence.
So that’s your own personal, ‘me-time’ Christmas gift sorted, right? Absolutely. Unless, that is, you can’t make it along to the Baileys Treat Bar when it sets up shop in Covent Garden. If that’s the case, don’t cancel Christmas, as we’ve got you covered. You’ll also be able to quaff an indulgent Baileys treat at the London locations listed below. Phew!
And remember, you can find out more and get some indulgence inspiration at www.baileystreatbar.com.
The beautiful courtyard of Somerset House isn’t just hosting one of London’s most picturesque ice rinks this winter. It’s also home to the Skate Lounge with Baileys, offering the perfect viewpoint to watch skaters whizzing by, while you relax with a Baileys and marvel at the indulgent treat you’ve bagged yourself. Whether you’re skating or just enjoying the spectacle, sit back and #Treatup.
A grand festival of all things festive, Winterville is full to the brim with activities. You’ll find an ice rink, cinema, circus, roller disco and all kinds of other fun stuff, including irresistible hot chocolates made with Baileys and Talisker whisky. Choose from a milk, white or dark hot chocolate base layered with Baileys Original Irish Cream, Chocolat Luxe or Talisker 10 years old single malt.
As soon as you start sipping anything from the Baileys Terrace you’re already spoiling yourself, so why not go the extra mile and spoil yourself that bit further by enjoying your festive tipple in super-stylish surroundings. Smith & Whistle bar at the wonderfully grand hotel will be welcoming in a Baileys Terrace for the festive period – great news by itself, but because we really do want to turn the indulgence-o-meter up to 11 this year, you’ll also be able to enjoy two very, very special Baileys desserts at the venue. Oh my.
Remember that Chocolate Reindeer cocktail we mentioned earlier? Of course you do. It’s divinely over-the-top, fabulously festive and just damn delicious. Anyone wanting to sample this truly inspired creation should head to either of three Drake & Morgan bars, The Folly (Gracechurch St), The Parlour (Canada Square) and Drake & Morgan King’s Cross (Pancras Square), as these classy venues will be the only other places to serve the drink outside of the Baileys Treat Bar. Pay them a visit and get yourself a reindeer – it’s what Rudolf would want.
Seek out this pop-up cocktail bar hidden underneath Shoreditch’s Absurd Bird (Commercial St, E1 6LT) and you’ll be able to sample a very special festive tipple: the rather magnificent salted caramel cheesecake martini. Yes, you read all of that correctly – it’s the stuff of dreams come to life, and it’s yours to try until December 22 at a marvellously buzzy speakeasy-styled bar.
