6 Alcohol-Infused Desserts Every Liquor Lover Must Try
A sweet indulgence and a good drink always go hand-in-hand. But why enjoy just one when you can have the best of both worlds?
Apart from being one of the most underrated food pairings, dessert and alcohol is certainly a match made in heaven. With multiple restaurants around the world introducing alcoholic confectionaries on their menus, customers now have an array of options to choose from.
Decadent, delicious treats with a dash of alcohol made using everything from rum to whisky… we’re a fan of them all.
Let’s feast on these wicked confections from all over the country that will give you both; a sugar high and a pleasant taste.
1) Russian Flair Ice Cream, Gmt Gelateria Montekatini Ice Cream, Bangalore
The Italians are known to be very serious about their ice cream. And in order to create the ultimate boozy treat, GMT churns out fresh, creamy flavours every day. To entice you further, the ice creams are also gluten-free, lactose-free and sucrose-free. It’s like having your favourite liqueur in a cup! Our recommendations would be Firenzi with mascarpone, rum, and pears, Russian Flair with apple, milk, and vodka and Lemon Sorbet with lemon juice and limoncello.

Just like a marriage that’s made in heaven, the Dark Chocolate and Whiskey Éclair at Country Of Origin is oh-so-perfect! Known as one of the best dessert places in the city, COO has perfected the right balance between boozy and saccharine with this confection.

Olive serves the Tiramisu 08 –The ‘Pick Me Up’ dessert which successfully leaves your palate dancing to the flavours of Italy.

5) Chocolate Truffles With Homemade Whisky Ice Cream, Gallops, Mumbai
There’s nothing more as challenging as hitting the right note of balance between chocolate and whisky but, Gallops manages to sail through just fine. Gallops is a fan-favourite when it comes to desserts along with a view that enthrals and a menu that entices. Teamed with indulgent, in-house ice-cream laced with a healthy dose of whisky, this dish is a clear winner with every spoonful!
