That’s not the kind of coke you want in a cocktail.

A man from Jamaica tried to smuggle $115,000 worth of cocaine through JFK airport by stuffing the drugs in Baileys liquor bottles, authorities said Wednesday.

Akeem Rasheen Lewis landed from Kingston on Sept. 28 and tried to go through customs with three bottles of Irish-cream in a duty-free bag.

But Customs and Border Patrol agents sniffed something was off when they noticed the bottles had been tampered with.

Instead of the whiskey and cream-based liquor, they found plastic bags filled with a total of nine pounds of cocaine stashed inside the bottles.

Lewis was arrested and handed over to Homeland Security Investigations agents.
