After-work outings and weekend plans should definitely include desserts and alcohol. But wouldn’t it be so much better if you could get your hands on alcohol infused desserts?
Here are 7 alco-desserts you need to try!
1. Dark Chocolate and Whisky Eclair (Country of Origin, Mumbai)
We’d hate to admit it, but we too have our weaknesses when it comes to chocolate and whisky. Country of Origin, Nepean Sea Road didn’t help our cause as they decided to combine the two in the form of an éclair. We’re probably hearing tears of happiness somewhere as you read this, but it’s absolutely true. Chocolate and whisky, need we say more? And trust us when we tell you that this tipsy treat sure is worth making the trip down to ‘town’.
2. Old Monk Ice Cream (Haute Artisans Creations, Mumbai)
#thankthane should be a trending hashtag for all of us who love ice cream and alcohol. After all, Haute Artisans Creations in Thane is one of the few places that makes alcohol-infused ice cream. Whisky lovers have the Chivas Regal, there’s Green Apple for those who prefer Vodka, rum romantics can’t complain either as they can relish Old Monk and White Rum flavoured ice cream. If you’re someone who doesn’t fuss and loves to try out everything, this place should very well be on your to-visit-list.
