FAQs

Q: Is Baileys Deliciously Light gluten-free?
A: Yes, Baileys Deliciously Light is indeed gluten-free. It’s made without any wheat or other gluten-containing grains. Despite this, if you have celiac disease, gluten sensitivity, or are on a strict gluten-free diet, it’s always recommended to check the label and ingredients list of any product you consume.

This is because sometimes products can be contaminated with gluten during the manufacturing process, or they may contain other allergens that could affect you.

A: Absolutely, you can substitute regular Baileys for Baileys Deliciously Light in these recipes. The main difference between the two is that the latter has fewer calories and less sugar, making it a lighter option.

A: Definitely, you can adapt these recipes to be non-alcoholic.
