Baileys Releases Vegan-Friendly Almande Almondmilk Liqueur

1-1NEW YORK (March 20, 2017) — Spring has officially sprung and the welcomed warmer weather is just in time for the new Baileys Almande Almondmilk Liqueur. This innovative, naturally light tasting spirit is a dairy-free, gluten-free and certified vegan liqueur that blends the luscious, nutty flavors of real almondmilk with delicious vanilla for an incredibly versatile treat.

“We are excited to welcome spring with Baileys Almande, which offers the same quality and delicious flavor that people love about Baileys, but now in a dairy-free, gluten-free and vegan option that we know many are thrilled to enjoy,” said Alex Tomlin, SVP of Scotch Whisky & Reserve Brands at Diageo North America. “Baileys Almande is delicious, light and easily mixed with refreshing Vita Coco Coconut Water, which makes it the perfect warm weather treat to enjoy responsibly!”

While Baileys Almande is versatile and lends itself perfectly to a multitude of offerings, the signature Baileys Almande Refresh showcases its mixability with coconut water. Baileys Almande Refresh and Vita Coco have created delicious cocktail recipes that are dairy-free, gluten-free and vegan. No matter how it’s served, new Baileys Almande is the perfect, naturally light tasting spirit that boasts the same calorie count as an average 5 ounce glass of wine, but in a much more delightful sip!

Whether hosting friends for Sunday brunch, adventuring to an outdoor happy hour, or attending your first rooftop party of the season, we hope you share images of your celebrations featuring the new go-to spirit to celebrate the return of warmer temperatures using #DontMindIfIBaileys and @BaileysUS (Instagram and Facebook) and @BaileysOriginal (Twitter).
