Why enjoy one vice when you can have two? Dessert and booze — it may be one of the most underrated food pairings, but this Eater guide aims to change that. We’re highlighting dessert destinations doing it right be that alcohol-infused ice creams, liqueur-soaked cakes, or treats that simply tickle your taste buds with a familiar spirit.
From an afternoon snack with just a hint of alcohol at Sugar Mama's Bakeshop to a light and slushy happy hour at Gelateria Gemelli to a booze-soaked frosty-sweet (ID-required) evening at Prohibition Creamery, there’s something for everyone. Here are our favorite sweet spots in town that plate, scoop, and pour desserts made with alcohol. In other words, 14 reasons not to skip dessert.
