Cocktails and Parfaits Made with Berries!

Described as “part mixed drink, part Italian soda, and part ice cream soda float,” this fizzy dessert combines blackberry puree with gin, lime juice, fresh mint, ginger ale, and a nice big scoop of vanilla ice cream. [Browneyed Baker]

The classic holiday dessert beverage gets an extra-fun spin with layers of homemade custard and ginger cookies. You can serve them in pretty martini glasses for added flair! [The Sac Chef]

8 – Boozy ‘Birthday Cake’ Shots
Don’t these look like kiddie party treats? Well, they’re a blend of cake-flavored vodka (yes, there is such a thing!), a bit of actual cake mix, chocolate liqueur, and half-and-half. Whipped cream and sprinkles on top complete the birthday cake look! [Sweetapolita]
