Baileys is one of those drinks that instantly feels like Christmas - creamy, comforting, sweet, and perfect poured over ice or added to coffee. But the original Baileys is packed with sugar and completely unsuitable for anyone following a keto, low-carb, or carnivore-style diet.
The good news? You can enjoy a Baileys-style festive drink without the sugar crash. A homemade keto version tastes incredible, uses simple ingredients, and has just a fraction of the carbs.
