Bailey’s Almande & Pure Barre
Last week I was invited to an event called from the Barre to the Bar, sponsored by Pure Barre and Bailey’s to promote their new product, Bailey’s Almande. After an intense Pure Barre class (more to come on that next week), we tried a few drinks with Bailey’s Almande. It is a gluten and dairy free spirit that tastes light and creamy. Because it is gluten and dairy free that means it’s basically healthy so you can have it after all of your workouts… right? Ok probably not, but this was a great event and a fun excuse to sip on drinks and mingle post-workout!
Mixologist Leann Berry created two specialty cocktails for us to try with Bailey’s Almande. My favorite was the Very Berry Almande, but I bet it would also taste great in coffee! I added the recipes below, so definitely try them out and let me know what you think!
