Baileys has released a Coffee Toffee Plant-Based Liqueur that replaces traditional Irish cream with oat milk, coffee and toffee notes.

To celebrate the launch, Baileys commissioned research on Australians’ growing love of plants, both in their homes and glasses.

The research found 36% of Australians drinking plant-based milks monthly and 16% weekly, while from naming their monstera to cancelling plans to check on their fiddle leaf fig, they are becoming increasingly emotionally entangled with their greenery. 

Furthermore, over half of Aussies (56%) have accidentally killed a houseplant in the past year, with 48% blaming themselves and 22% feeling genuinely guilty. Gen Z and Millennials are especially emotionally invested, often feeling deep disappointment when their plants don’t survive. 

Baileys has partnered with Stanley Green Plant Shop & Cafe in Darlinghurst to host a one-of-a-kind event: The Baileys Plant Surgery.

Until 5 October, the leafy cafe will transform into a safe space for plant parents to spill the beans over a Baileys Coffee Toffee cocktail or coffee.  

People are invited to bring in their struggling or sick sprouts for a check-up with the Plant Surgeon, while enjoying a drink from the exclusive Baileys Coffee Toffee menu.  

Diageo Australia Head of Whisky and Liqueurs Nishant Samuel said: “We’re conscious that some people can’t enjoy traditional Baileys.

“Well, now they can with our new Coffee Toffee liqueur. We’re thrilled to invite Aussies to try our new plant-based treat at the beautiful, leafy Stanley Green over the coming weekends.” 

Locals needing some plant care and self-care can visit Stanley Green Plant Shop & Café on the corner of Stanley & Crown Street, Darlinghurst. The Baileys Coffee Toffee Plant-Based Liqueur menu will be available from 12-6pm, with cocktails priced at $12.
