What would helen do? 
Amarula!? I’ve never heard of it before your post, but now it’s on the top of my "want" list. I usually stick to wine in all its beautiful forms, but you described it as "like Bailey’s, but better!", so…:-)
I’m having a glass of Amarula NOW. Inspired by your comment. Thanks for the remionder that I had some in the refrigerator…….
