3 Dessert Cocktails to Satisfy Your Sweet Tooth

By

There are two things everyone wants after a hearty, belt-loosening meal: a sweet dessert and a stiff drink. Though many bars and restaurants have tried to satisfy both post-dinner desires in one sip, only a few have succeeded in creating that perfect denouement of a drink.

Weโ€™re not talking about your basic Mudslide or Irish Coffeeโ€”not that thereโ€™s anything wrong with either of those classics. Weโ€™re talking about out-of-the-box, original nightcaps that fulfill both your wildest dessert and drink cravings. After extensive researchโ€”the lengths we go to for you, dear readerโ€”we found three incredible cocktails from three talented New York City bartenders that fit the bill.

Forget attempting crรจme brรปlรฉe or stopping at Carvel to pick up a Fudgie the Whale for your next dinner party. Make these decadent dessert cocktail recipes instead.

A cocktail as sway-inducing as the Dean Martin song itโ€™s named for, the Thatโ€™s Amore tastes like liquid tiramisu. A staple on the dessert menu at The Bar Room in New York, the cocktail is a light but silky combination of vodka, Patrรณn XO Cafe, nutty Frangelico and honeyed Drambuie. The piรจce de rรฉsistance? A ladyfinger rim.

If you think this cocktail looks appetizing, just wait until you taste it. One of many fantastic boozy floats created by Allison Kave at Brookynโ€™s Butter & Scotch, the cocktail combines two summertime staples (rosรฉ and strawberry ice cream) with Aperol for a sweetโ€”but not too sweetโ€”dessert drink.

The Raspberry Chocolate Martini at New Yorkโ€™s Ayza is so incredibly popular that co-owner Zafer Sevimcok raised the cocktailโ€™s price in an effort to reduce orders. But the plan backfired. โ€œPeople ordered more!โ€ Sevimcok says. We canโ€™t say weโ€™re surprised. Made with quality chocolate shavings from Jacques Torres and a balanced mix of Kahlรบa, Chambord and cream, it is the Choco-tini that will change your mind about Choco-tinis.
