Booze adds that certain something to any dessert! How could a drop or two of limoncello, cointreau, or tequila not make a dessert even better? Here is a selection of my favorite boozy dessert recipes to make your holiday festive.
I’ve handpicked the ones I love from from a few of the best food bloggers out there – with their permission, of course!
