Tesco slashes the price of award-winning liqueur that ‘tastes better than Bailey's'
And no, it's not the go-to classic Bailey's.
A 700 mililitre bottle of Coole Swan Superior Irish Cream Liqueur is available for just £26.50 from Tesco.
And if you're a Clubcard holder, you can nab this popular drink for £20.
The "smooth and creamy" drink consists of single-malt Irish whiskey, Belgian white chocolate, and fresh dairy cream.
Coole Swan own a family farm in Ireland, where they source the cream that gives the drink its classic "silky" quality.
'Better' than Bailey's
While Baileys is the traditional choice for many, Coole Swan proves to be a popular contender.
Some fans have even compared the two, describing the Tesco buy as "like Baileys, but better".
One shopper claimed it's in a "different league" compared to other cream liqueurs.
Rave reviews
Coole Swan has also garnered prestigious awards, including Double Gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
It was also named the #1 Irish cream liqueur by Tasting Table, according to the Manchester Evening News.
Tesco customers awarded the liqueur an average of 4.7 out of five stars.
'I'm obsessed with it' says Irish shopper as new drink hits stores for first time – but there are loads of mixed reviews
"This is so beautiful, creamy and a better class of liqueur. Move over, Baileys, there's a new drink in town," said one shopper.
"The most delicious Irish cream liqueur I have ever tasted," agreed another person.
"Creamy, luxuriously smooth and very moreish."
They added: "The taste of alcohol is not overwhelming either, which I find with Baileys and other Irish creams.
"Don't think I could go back to anything else after trying this; the only downside is the price."
NHS guidelines on drinking alcohol
According to the NHS, regularly drinking more than 14 units of alcohol a week risks damaging your health.
To keep health risks from alcohol to a low level if you drink most weeks:
men and women are advised not to drink more than 14 units a week on a regular basis
spread your drinking over 3 or more days if you regularly drink as much as 14 units a week
if you want to cut down, try to have several drink-free days each week
If you're pregnant or think you could become pregnant, the safest approach is not to drink alcohol at all to keep risks to your baby to a minimum.

Theft-hit Tesco store locks beer and wine behind the tills to counter ‘rife' shoplifting
A THEFT-hit Tesco Express has put all beer and wine behind the tills. Shoppers must now request all booze, which is locked away with spirits and cigarettes. 2 The move — thought to be a first for a major chain — was brought in to counter 'rife' shoplifting at the store in Brighton. The city council initially tried to stop it selling any alcohol due to crime. But it relented when told that Tesco would take extra security measures. A cashier said: 'Too many people were stealing. It's bad here.' We told last year how some Tesco branches kept doors locked until staff had checked shoppers outside on CCTV. Figures show 516,971 reported shop thefts last year, around one a minute. But the real total is said to be much higher. Tesco has been invited to comment. 2 How business owners are cracking down on shoplifting

Irish cricket thought itself '19th English county'
Outgoing Cricket Ireland chief executive Warren Deutrom says a "sense of belief" has been key to the changing status of the sport in the country. The Englishman, who will leave the organisation this month, has been in the position since September 2006 with the period including elevation to full member status of the ICC, historic World Cup victories over Pakistan, England and West Indies, and the advent of professional contracts in the men's and women's game. "When I arrived, I think I was one of the very few people who did believe," he told BBC Sport NI's Gavin Andrews."I think our players got it, I think they definitely saw the talent that was here and they believed and you saw that from their performances on the pitch. "My job was probably to try and get Irish cricket not to think of itself as the 19th English county, but to think of itself, as it became soon after the end of the World Cup in 2007, as the 10th best country in the world." While there have been more recent budgetary concerns and fixture cancellations, Deutrom believes there is an exciting future for his unnamed successor with attempts to host India next year, the joint staging of the 2030 T20 World Cup and, most importantly, approved plans for a 4,000-capacity permanent stadium. "The next five years - [In] 2026 we hope we can have India turning up. I'm going to be working on that over the next few weeks," he said."Also 2027 is the first year of our new media rights deal and, 2028, cricket is returned to the Olympics after a long, long time. [In] 2029, the first ball bowled in our brand new international stadium in Dublin and, 2030, co-hosting the ICC T20 World Cup. "There's lots of skyscrapers on an annual basis to look forward to and genuinely to build in terms of opportunity. So if I was looking at that job anew, I'd say that is a job I'd love to do." 'You suddenly are bringing people to your home' Ireland cancelled visits from Australia in 2024 and Afghanistan this year with Deutrom citing at the time that the prohibitive cost of temporary stadium infrastructure was a key factor in the decisions. As such, the plans for a permanent and dedicated home are National Cricket Stadium and High Performance Centre, which will be located in the National Sports Campus in Dublin, is to include a main cricket oval with permanent seating for 4,000 spectators with the ability to accommodate additional temporary seating when required. There are also ambitions to upgrade the existing facilities at Stormont in Belfast too."Operationally, suddenly it means hundreds of thousands [of euros] that we would otherwise spend on developing or building temporary infrastructure goes," added Deutrom."So that is number one and number two, you have an asset you can [use] commercially."Number three, I've always felt the lack of a stadium somehow marked out Irish cricket as a minnow sport. When we have a stadium, you suddenly are bringing people to your home."

US joint venture BetMGM helps Entain to beat expectations
A flurry of bets on the football Club World Cup and summer tennis tournaments helped the UK gambling company Entain to better-than-expected results, helping it brace for looming tax rises in its domestic market. The owner of brands including Ladbrokes and Coral reported an 11% rise in underlying profits to £583m in the first half of the year, on revenues that rose 3% to nearly £2.6bn. At BetMGM, Entain's 50%-owned US joint venture, revenues rose by more than a third. US sports betting continues to grow rapidly following the supreme court's overturning in 2018 of a decades-old ban on the practice. But Entain also performed strongly in its home market, with online gambling revenues up 21% in the UK and Ireland. Entain said the Club World Cup, held in the US earlier this summer, had delivered 'fantastic results' for the company, despite a muted response to the tournament in the UK. Entain describes Brazil as one of its 'must win' markets, alongside the UK and US, and it has a partnership with the São Paulo team – and Club World Cup participant – Palmeiras. The company said this helped boost local interest in betting on the tournament. The Club World Cup final, between Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain, was the year's most popular event by the number of bets taken. The French Open and Wimbledon tennis tournaments also delivered new records for the company, amid surging interest from gamblers in a sport whose design inherently creates opportunities to place rapid-fire wagers. Female tennis players have spoken out this year about the abuse they receive, often from gamblers frustrated by having lost bets. Entain's chief executive, Stella David, appointed earlier this year after her predecessor, Gavin Isaacs, departed suddenly after five months, said the results showed the company was 'getting stronger, fitter and faster'. Entain's improved fortunes in the UK could cushion the blow if the Treasury goes ahead with plans to target the gambling industry with higher taxes, as the chancellor, Rachel Reeves, casts around for ways to plug a fiscal hole. Sign up to Business Today Get set for the working day – we'll point you to all the business news and analysis you need every morning after newsletter promotion Gordon Brown, the former prime minister who also served a decade as chancellor, recently called for gambling duties to increase by £3bn, from about £2.5bn at present, to pay for lifting the two-child cap on benefits. The Treasury is expected to increase taxes levied on the sector, albeit by a smaller amount than Brown has suggested.
