Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Whether you prefer pumpkin spice, hazelnut, chocolate or biscotti, for many of us, cracking open the Baileys of an evening is a sign that autumn/winter/Christmas has arrived (depending on how hardcore you are).
Is there anything better than snuggling up on the sofa in front of a good film, with some candles and some sweet Baileys over ice? Or how about a warming Baileys hot chocolate?
For a long time, this has been a seasonal delight the vegan amongst us have not had the pleasure of enjoying - but that is about to change.
Mugs at the ready because vegan Baileys has just launched in the UK.
Called Baileys Almande, it’s made with almond milk, almond essence, cane sugar, purified water and real vanilla.
Unlike the dairy-free version which launched last year (made with honey and beeswax), the new Baileys is entirely vegan too.
With the number of vegans in the UK having grown 350 per cent over the past ten years - 42 per cent of whom are aged between 15 and 34 - it’s likely the new Baileys will go down a treat amongst millennials.
And it’s safe to say British vegans are hugely excited by the news.
Currently available exclusively at Whole Foods, the store says:
“The dairy-free, vegan-friendly indulgence blends the luscious, nutty flavours of sweet almond oil and almond essence (extracted from crushed almonds) with a touch of real vanilla.”
They recommend serving over ice, in a cocktail, or blended into iced coffee.
So, um, swigging straight from the bottle is frowned upon?
