13 Outrageous Drunk Desserts To Get You In The Holiday Spirit

Boozy desserts are a welcome distraction anytime of year, but especially as we try to circumnavigate the holidays. It’s really the only ample reward after a long day of…anything. Shopping? Champagne. Running errands? Wine. Working? Bourbon. How great that you can now have your cake and drink it, too? Here are 13 photos of some of the best over-the-top desserts that have incorporated the alcohol for you.

The lazy baker’s calling card.

Grand Manier Souffle

Grand Manier is a great addition to any dessert, but mainly souffles because it rhymes.

Cocktail Cupcakes

This one right here, the Oreo Mudslide, comes with a DIY injection of Irish Creme/Kahlua. As all cupcakes should.

Drunkin’ Doughnut

Does it even matter what type of booze is used in this shake? Nope. (But if you’re curious, it’s bourbon).

Beer Mug Cake

Okay, we’re not even sure if there is actual beer in this cake, but it would be a missed opportunity if there’s not.

Red Wine Cake

Possibly, the best presentation we’ve seen. That chocolate cupcake is made with red wine. And the buttercream gets that beautiful color from Chambord.

Maker’s Mark Bourbon Cake

If you didn’t already know this, dark liquors, like bourbon, go really well with chocolate and caramel.

Whiskey Meringue

Putting booze in your frosting or meringue is a great way to add a subtle alcohol flavor. You know, if you like that kind of stuff.
