Does cream liqueur go bad?

[YetAnotherOne]

So I'd really like an Irish coffee right now but I'm feeling too lazy to trot down to the store (2 blocks) for some fresh Bailey's. I've got a couple of open bottles of cheap crap in the bar that'll do in a pinch but they're like 3 years old. One says "for best results refrigerate after opening" - as if. The other says "for best results drink within 6 months of opening". Do I have to drag ass out to the store or are these probably still OK?

Not sure, nothing like that lasts that long in this house.

I think Bailey's has an expiration date tho...I don't know what keeping it that cold would do for the longevity.

I dunno..do the taste test [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/toast.gif[/img] </font>

I wouldn't drink that if I were you unless you want your stomach pumped like David Bowie~ Especially if it's been open and left out of the 'fridge for that long...

Besides, an Irish coffee doesn't have any Irish cream in it. A 'traditional' Irish coffee has Irish whiskey, coffee liquor (like Kalua or Kamora) coffee, whipped cream, sprinkled with green creme de' menthe and of course....a cherry! Cheers! [img]/images/graemlins/toast.gif[/img]

ummm....it contains dairy products....pour some out and it probably either has chunks in it or has solidified into cheese by now.

Yes, it goes bad.
No, freezing it doesn´t help, because it effectively separates the cream from the rest (Unlike Jägermeister or Akvavit, which are traditionally served below the freezing point of water) [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
