Justin Glaze is celebrating St. Patrick’s Day with something delicious in his glass.
The Bachelor Nation fave has teamed up with Baileys Original Irish Cream to share how he’s celebrating the holiday and his favorite ways to enjoy the iconic liqueur.
In an exclusive chat with The Blast, the reality star and content creator shared his go-to cocktails, favorite reality shows to binge, and why he’s loving being a content creator.
Justin Glaze Teamed Up With Baileys For Some Epic Holiday Fun
While this isn’t the first time Glaze has partnered with Baileys, this time was a little different.
“I’ve been a personal, longstanding fan of Baileys even before I got into the social media world. And once I started getting into social media and started doing a lot of content revolving around cocktails, it was a great fit,” Glaze told The Blast exclusively. “And then this partnership in particular, I’ve been doing a series online where I call it the ‘Random Side Quest’ series where I just challenge myself to do a lot of random, one off workout classes or whatever it may be. Baileys caught wind of that and they challenged me to take an Irish dance class.”
As for how Glaze will be celebrating the holiday, he will be drinking Baileys with friends this weekend (and maybe even wear a kilt for some of the celebrating).
“This year I’m hosting. We’re kick starting at my house,” he said. “So the Mini G will be one of the welcome shots that I have available for my friends and the other being the Shamrock shot. We’ll hang out here a little bit, listen to some music, chat. We’re big gamers, so we love playing games and social activities and then we’ll probably head out and just bar hop a little bit.”
What’s Justin Glaze’s Go-To Baileys Cocktail?
Glaze loves Baileys but how he drinks it changes with the day and even the season.
“I’d say the Mini G’s are up there [as a favorite]. Combining the classic Baileys Irish Cream with coffee liqueur, I’d say that’s my favorite. But it depends on the time of day you ask me,” he said.
“That’s kind of my evening, let’s ease into the festivities. If it’s a weekend or depending on the weather as well. I like throwing some Baileys in hot chocolate on a cold day or if it’s a Saturday and I’m gonna have myself a good time with some friends, I like just throwing a splash of Baileys in some iced coffee.”
Here are two recipes to help make your St. Patrick’s Day celebration Baileys-delicious!
The Mini G: 0.75 oz Baileys Original Irish Cream, and 1.25 oz Mr. Black Coffee Liqueur. Pour Mr. Black Coffee Liqueur into a shot glass and float chilled Baileys Original Irish Cream on top.
Shamrock Shot: 1 oz of Baileys Chocolate Liqueur and 1 oz Rumple Minze. Add Baileys Chocolate Liqueur and Rumple Minze into a cocktail shaker. Shake, pour into a shot glass and enjoy.
Reality TV Entered The Chat
Of course we had to talk about reality TV and what shows Glaze is obsessed with at the moment.
“I was obsessed, I just wrapped ‘The Traitors’ which is one of my favorite reality shows,” he told The Blast. “Actually had some friends together last night to watch the ‘Love is Blind’ reunion. And April 11, I believe, is ‘Love on the Spectrum.’ That’s my show. But ‘Traitors’ is my number one right now.”
And with a new season of “The Bachelorette” getting ready to start, we had to know if he plans on watching this season with “Mormon Wives” star Taylor Frankie Paul.
“I mean by default, I’ll be tuning in, yeah,” he said. “I am very interested to see how that season unfolds.”
Justin Glaze Shares Some Memories From His Time On ‘The Bachelorette’
While Glaze has had many memorable reality TV moments during his time on “The Bachelorette,” he said one thing tends to stand out for him.
“I hate to talk about myself, but I’ll do it in a bit of a self deprecating way, which is my style,” he began. “People always ask me what stood out from my experience on reality TV the most and people always ask me if I was aware of my facial expression. I had no clue that it was to that degree.”
When asked about his favorite moments from his time on the show, he said he doesn’t have just one particular moment.
“I’d say my favorite moments were probably some things that happened off camera. Honestly, you know where you kind of build that camaraderie with a lot of the guys that I am still close to to this day,” he shared. “When we were waiting for hours on end in our suits for our rose ceremony and got the treat of being able to listen to music. The friendships, looking back, we had no idea how close we were going to be four or five years later. I’d say those are probably some of my favorite moments.”
Justin Glaze Talks Content Creation And His Next Gig
Glaze started doing content creation more seriously about a year after he came off of his first show.
“I was never super into content before. I maybe posted a handful of times a year, and then even after I came off ‘The Bachelorette,’ I was still working in finance and then slowly but surely started to juggle both worlds.”
He then made the decision to “go all in” with content creation and he hasn’t looked back since. Explaining that he’s a “creative person,” he enjoys having platforms where he can share his content.
“I enjoy seeing that resonate with an audience. It’s super rewarding and fulfilling,” he shared. “It’s super rewarding and I am super fortunate to be able to partner with great brands that I’ve always been a personal fan of like Baileys.”
As for his next big gig, you’ll see him on the screen with “Mormon Wives” star Whitney Leavitt in the holiday film, “All for Love.”
“I was doing a television commercial and kind of got in that network and met some of the producers. They had asked me if I had ever had any interest in doing more scripted things, and I said, ‘Of course,'” he told The Blast. “It was kind of wild how it came about, but it was a super fun and rewarding experience. And hopefully, more opportunities come from that.”
