Baileys Irish Cream has just announced a new light version of its signature liquor featuring 40 percent less sugar and calories than the original.
Baileys Deliciously Light, as the new beverage is called, is hitting stores just in time for St Patrick’s Day.
"We’re delighted to offer a lighter version of our beloved Baileys Original Irish Cream," said Stacey Cunningham, the director of Baileys & Liqueurs for Diageo North America, in a statement.
"We all deserve a little treat and with the launch of Baileys Deliciously Light, it’s the perfect reminder for us to take that well-deserved time for ourselves this year."
A 2.5oz serving of the light liqueur contains 139 calories and 7.8g of sugar, compared to the 233 calories and 13.3g of sugar in a 2.5oz pour of Baileys Original Irish Cream.
Baileys Deliciously Light can be enjoyed over ice, chilled, in a smoothie or with hot, iced or whipped coffee.
The liquid is available nationwide wherever spirits-based beverages are sold for a suggested retail price of $24.99 for a 750mL bottle.
