Sweet tooth? Dessert Cocktails have everything you need to satisfy those after dinner cravings
Chocolate? Peanut butter? Fresh Fruit? What does it for you? Dessert Cocktails are the perfect end to any evening and when you know how to shake up the perfect mix, you can avoid those syrupy, overly sweet disasters that some bartenders attempt to slay their customers with after dinner. Take a break from your everyday Chocolate Martini.
Try inovative simple syrups, like honey roasted peanut, or white chocolate macadamia nut paired with interesting spirit choices. Skip the norm and opt for Nut Liquor, Nocello Walnut Liquer, St. Elizabeth Allspice or Vanilla Infused Rum. And then look for common dessert-esk liquors to blend... Amaretto, Godiva, Kaluha, Tuaca, Lemoncello, Gran Marnier, Chambord and then keep it simple and not too sweet. I usually skip the "Sugar Rim" that has become so popular, but in a dessert cocktail, it may add something a little extra. A rim should be used as an addition to the cocktail, not just for looks. Get creative with your garnishes too. Dessert is about the whole package, don't skip the details.
