can someone recommend a good drink that includes Baileys?

[/ QUOTE ]

Blonde russian: vodka, kaluha, baileys with whatever ratio you prefer for white russians or perhaps a bit more baileys than cream

Nutcracker: equal parts vodka, kaluha, baileys, amaretto

and while not exactly a mixed drink, car bombs were the way i got introduced to the deliciousness of irish cream: drop a shot of baileys into a mug of guiness and chug (if you don't drink quickly, the cream will go awry) put a bit of jameson whiskey on top of the baileys shot if you want.

"If you want"? It's half Jameson and half Bailey's.

A few restaurants in Australia had something called a "Toblerone", which is a ridiculous concoction with like... Bailey's, Kahlua, Frangelico, honey, and cream. FWIW, it is delicious, if you like dessert with your drinks.

The first one I thought of was Captain & Seven. Guy at the 2-5 no-limit table at Caesar's Palace turned me on to it last summer. Said it tasted just like cream soda, and he was right.

Captain and Ginger Ale tastes even better than this, try it you'll enjoy it. I will say that it depends on the quality of the ginger ale at the bar. I worked at one place that had terrible ginger ale and that really ruined the drink.

For Bailey's I would also suggest drinking it on the rocks. If not you can mix it with Butterscotch Schnapps, called a Buttery Nipple, served either as a shot or on the rocks.

Personally I'm a big fan of flavored vodka mixed with soda. I have found that the Stoli vodkas are quite good, however Smirnoff has a stronger fruit taste so if that's what you're looking for it is a good choice. My favorite is Ketel One Citron and soda, but some places don't carry it so I'll usually go to some type of Stoli.

Im not a huge fan of mixed drinks, I prefer beer. But, when Im in the mood, I like some of these:

Standard
Red Bull and Vodka
Captain and Coke

Not so standard (I guess)
Captain and Cherry Coke
Jack and Ginger

Also, while we are on it, the only real good drink recipe I have is for an Appletini:

1 Green Apple Vodka
1 Apple Schnapps
1/2 Sweet n Sour
Splash of Orange Liqueur
Garnish with a cherry.

Grape Vodka and Sprite is great
Try to stay away from the cheapest of the cheap grape vodka's though.
Pinnacle or Three Olives do the trick for this non-balla

I mix grey goose and vodka when I drink.... mmm alcoholism..

Best real mixed drink is a grateful dead in my opinion..
Decently strong basically a long island with the last ingredient being juice and not coke I believe...

If you get them made correctly a red death is like drinking kool aid until you stand up...

Also if vodka + redbull has a good taste and can be made strong..

Mind erasers are also good...

Car bombs are tremendously good.
