OK, I'm a beer and mead/cider expert. I am not a liqueur expert by any means.
I have about 3/4 of a bottle of Irish Cream in my fridge. It's a few months old (a neighbor gave it to me for New Year's actually, so 7 mos old.) . I had some of it about a month ago and it was fine.
I am wondering how long this stuff keeps as I maybe drink a couple of fingers of it once a month or less. I assume it can't be frozen as it'd seperate?
Don't get me wrong, I love the way the stuff tastes, and if alcohol in any quantity didn't make me wired and keep me up all night, as well as giving me a headache, the bottle would be long gone. (I have bottle stoppers for the craft beers/ciders/meads I buy as I can't finish a whole bottle)
So, anyone out there who knows enough about the Irish Cream liqueurs to be able to give me an idea of when to pour this stuff down the drain as opposed to finding out the hard way?
I have switched out the cap the bottle came with for one of the wine bottle stoppers I use for my beers and ciders, in hope that that would help the stuff last longer.
Thanks in advance, GN (who remembers when she weighed 123lbs and could drink a man 2x her size under a table. Thank goodness I realized early on that THAT was not a good sign.)
