In a marriage made in heaven, alcohol and ice cream come together seamlessly at this East Seventh Street spot. Boozy ice creams, sorbets, and milkshakes headline the menu. (Need an extra kick to your scoops? Add an alcoholic pour-over like espresso liqueur). There's even bourbon in the whipped cream.

This Barton Spring beauty’s modern take on Italian cuisine shines bright in its approach to tiramisu. The ladyfingers-mascarpone mousse-coffee cremeux-kahlua gelée-layered stunner is served as a parfait, accompanied by two puffs of meringue.

Seductive meets sweet in Vox Table's Coco Sundae. Executive pastry chef Annabelle Turner's beautiful creation includes almond brittle, aquafaba meringue drops, and bourbon cherries.

This Austin-grown family-friendly ice cream chain has a wicked good side as seen in its past selections of booze-fortified frozen treats including Guinness, Sweet Cream with Shiner Bock, Amaretto Peach, Berry Colada, (512) Brewing Pecan Porter, and Tito's the Dude. Flavors rotate, so try them when you see them.

Ladies who lunch, brunchers, and others in the know return again and again to this Northwest Hills institution for their sweet fix. The bistro/bakery/bar whips up a rebellious Godiva Leches Cake topped with Chocolate Godiva Liqueur, an Italian cream cake that flirts ever so sweetly with Amaretto, and a chocolate silk pie made with Kahlua.

The artful Tobacco Cream masterfully brings together the flavors of tobacco, scotch, pecan, chocolate, and smoked blueberry jam, which has secured its place as one of Uchiko’s signature desserts.

Executive pastry chef Susana Querejazu’s title as one of the city’s top sweets mavens is underscored in Odd Duck’s coffee croissant made with pecan, whiskey, and milk jam. Find it on the dessert menu.

The East Sixth Street frosty treat and cocktail destination serves up a beerfogato—an after-hours affogato that drowns gelato in Austin Beerworks Black Thunder. Or if you’re looking for something lighter, order a Sgroppino, which merrily mingles sorbetto, gin, and prosecco into a slushy libation.

The wide range of bite-size confections offered by both area locations includes a tiramisu ball made with Italian espresso, sweet cream, mascarpone, pure coffee extract, espresso buttercream, a touch of Kahlua, and dusting of Callebaut cocoa.

This ain't your mama’s frosting. The Frida cupcake has a coffee liqueur buttercream frosting, the Margarita comes with tequila lime frosting, and the Marilyn Monroe is topped with Madagascar bourbon vanilla buttercream. The Black and Tan delivers a double dose of booze with Guinness Stout cake and vanilla cream cheese frosting swirled with Irish Cream liqueur. Not a fan of cupcakes? The Bourbon Chocolate Pecan Pie Bar has a pleasing whisper of bourbon.

Caffeine and cocktails collide at this relaxed downtown spot. Satiate your sweet tooth with a Thin Mint (creme de cacao + creme de menthe + vanilla ice cream) or opt for a white and dark chocolate espresso martini. The bartenders can also spike your hot chocolate—just ask.
