Match the drink to your dessert mood
Brandy Alexander combines brandy, dark crème de cacao, and cream. White Russian pairs vodka and Kahlúa with cream; Toasted Almond adds amaretto. Bee's Kiss brings rum, cream, and honey syrup, while Milk & Honey combines Bénédictine and milk. These drinks share a dessert role but have different base spirits and sweetness.
Warm coffee, iced cream, or a small finish
Madame Coffee uses hot coffee, Baileys, and vanilla syrup; Shaft is an iced coffee drink with vodka and liqueurs. Screaming Orgasm includes several liqueurs, cream, and milk. Colorado Bulldog adds cola to a creamy vodka drink; B-52 is a layered shot rather than a full-size dessert cocktail. Keep dairy ingredients chilled, follow the pouring order, and check labels for milk and other allergens. None of these drinks is an alcohol-free dessert substitute.
