Iced Coffee with Kahlua and Bailey’s is the perfect pick-me-up. It’s smooth, creamy, and slightly sweet with Irish cream and coffee flavors.
Iced Coffee with Kahlua and Bailey’s is a cold, boozy, adult indulgence that gives an ordinary cup of coffee a little something special. It’s great to have mid-afternoon or as an after-dinner drink.
Of course, you can always switch out the regular coffee for decaf if you prefer. Are you a coffee lover?
I have to be honest. I couldn’t stand the taste of coffee until 2009 when we moved to Miami and John talked me into trying something from Starbucks. Let me tell you, after one drink of that White Chocolate Mocha, I was hooked.
Ever since we’ve been trying different brands of coffees and playing around with various recipes.
It’s pretty amazing what you can make with a touch of flavored syrup and some whipped cream.
This recipe was born of my love of Irish Cream coffee but out of necessity to have a cold drink for the hot summer months.
I like to think of it as the cousin to one of my favorite winter drinks, Coffee with Kahlua.
All you need for this recipe is a blender, coffee pot, and a couple of coffee mugs.
In just a few minutes you’ll have a tasty drink that’s perfectly sippable and will make an iced coffee lover out of anyone.
One of the best things about this drink is how easy it is to modify. If you aren’t a fan of Kahlua, simply leave it out. Do you like a certain flavor of non-dairy creamer? Add your favorite kind!
Iced Coffee with Kahlua and Bailey’s can be made using soy or nut milk or omitting one of the alcohols. It’s simple to mix things up, so make it your own.

I use leftover coffee and freeze into ice cubes and use the “coffee ice cubes” instead of just “cubes”. Yum!
John says
That’s a great idea Paula! Thank you for sharing and have a lovely day 🙂

Just saw this recipe today and thought, I have all the ingredients I’ll give it a shot. Absolutely DELICIOUS!! My family, all adults, asked what I made, so I let them try it, now I’m making them for everyone! Thank you.

That’s wonderful Cynthia! Kim and I are happy everyone loved the drink. Thank you again for coming back to comment on and rate the recipe card! Have a lovely day 🙂

Thank you, Tina! Kim’s photos always amazing me, they are beautiful. I am usually a beer man, but I can indulge in these drinks from time to time myself. Thanks again for commenting and have a lovely Wednesday 🙂
Ali Rost says
I’m so excited to show my husband! He’s a huge coffee lover and anything with Baileys and Kahlua will make him smile all the more. I’m not sure I can make mine as pretty as yours, but I’ll give it a try! x
John says
Thank you, Ali! I hope your husband loves the drink. Kim does an amazing job on the pictures. She has the staging and editing thing down, for sure. No worries, my food usually isn’t as pretty as hers lol! You can probably tell a difference between Kim’s cooking and my cooking just by looking at the dishes. Thanks again for commenting and have a lovely Wednesday 🙂
Cheryl says
I’m with you. I don’t like or drink coffee either unless it’s iced and with plenty of chocolate to cover up the coffee taste! This looks good.
John says
Thank you, Cheryl! I am coffee, myself. The darker the roast, the better. With that being said, my Dad started me straight coffee when I was a kid, so I’ve come to enjoy the flavor of plain coffee. It’s kind of like beer, it can a long time to get accustomed to the flavor. Thank you again for commenting and have a lovely Wednesday 🙂
John says
Thank you, Lisa! I am thrilled you enjoy the drink and hope you make it soon. Have a wonderful day 🙂

Joanna @ Everyday Made Fresh says
I have been drinking coffee since I was holding a sippy cup. No lie. My mother and grandmother used to fix me cream, sugar, and a little coffee. I stopped drinking it for a time because I just didn’t like it anymore. Then once I got married, it became my go-to morning pick-me-up. Like you, I like to play around with coffee recipes. Those types of coffee concoctions are the best! This sounds like a wonderful summer coffee beverage, and now I’m sitting here craving this, as opposed to lunch! Ha!
John says
Thank you, Joanna! I know what you mean. When I was little my Dad would give me sips of his coffee when he took me fishing or hunting. Coffee has been in my blood for years. I am glad you like the recipe, have a wonderful Tuesday 🙂
Paula Schuck says

Lauren says
Ooh can you recommend a biscotti recipe to pair this with? I love coffee and cookies for dessert! My husband hates coffee so I get it all to myself?
John says
Thank you, Lauren! I am glad you like the coffee. Unfortunately, I don’t know any biscotti recipes, but I am sure there’s a great one out there. 🙂
Jacqui S says
I love my coffee! As long as it’s sweetened. And OH. MY. GOD. This looks delish! I always have a vanilla caramel, but I’m thinking I’m going to have to take a little time and make something like this to spoil myself with on the weekends. Thank you for sharing!
John says
Thank you, Jacqui! I am thrilled you like this coffee treat and happy you want to try it. Have a lovely Tuesday 🙂
