Traditionally, Baileys has been a drink to enjoy over ice, as an ingredient in a shot or to spike a cup of coffee, but now that it's available in two new flavors -- mint and caramel -- it's finding its way into more cocktails and martinis than ever before.

"Baileys is a fun ingredient to work with, without being overpowering. It's pretty versatile, especially with the two new flavors," says Nick Williams, who owns Delafield's Twist 'n Olive with his wife, Amy.

Also, Baileys commonly is used as an ingredient in shots like the slippery nipple (Baileys and butterscotch schnapps) and the Irish car bomb (Baileys, Guinness and Jameson.) The liqueur -- a mix of Irish whiskey and cream -- is 17 percent alcohol and made by R. A. Bailey & Co. based in Dublin, Ireland.

"We do a lot of Irish coffees (at Von Trier) and Baileys smoothes out the coffee. It gives it a distinctly different flavor," says Von Trier's Mark Eckert. "You can mix it with almost anything."

Here's a sampling of Milwaukee (and surrounding area) establishments that make Baileys drinks. Add your favorites by using the talkback feature.
