Irish cream is the trickiest of the home liqueurs to get smooth, and this essence does the heavy lifting so the result comes out close to a Baileys rather than a curdled mess.
Combine the 50ml bottle with 650ml of vodka or a neutral spirit at 38%, 350g of sugar and 490ml of UHT cream, then shake it well. That's about 1.4 litres of finished cream liqueur.
UHT cream is worth sticking to here rather than fresh, since it holds up far better once mixed with the spirit and keeps the batch from separating in the fridge. Fifteen minutes to make, and it's a good one to have ready for guests over the cooler months.
