Cream liqueur

A cream liqueur (not be confused with a crème liqueur) is a liqueur that includes dairy cream among its ingredients. Examples include Baileys Irish Cream and Saint Brendan's, which use Irish whiskey; Amarula, which uses distillate of fermented South African marula fruits. What unites them is their use of cream and a generally flavorful liquor as their bases. Most unflavored vodka, for example, would be considered unsuitable for a cream liqueur.
