"The following is a roundup and ranking of a whopping 19 different bottles, and if I'm being honest, ranking them was no easy task. All of the below are either single-pour spirits or spirits that can easily be mellowed out with a cream liqueur addition (such is the case with some of the espresso/coffee/chocolate liqueurs below). So, when ranking them, I relied heavily on personal preference."
"In this piece, I favored bottles that boasted deep, complex flavors without being too saccharine, and I favored single-pour drinks above anything else. I'd encourage you to read through my descriptions of each and buy which will best suit your dessert liqueur needs; for example, if you want a particularly cloying liqueur, it may be advantageous to shop some of the spirits toward the bottom of my list."
The roundup ranks 19 dessert liqueurs and prioritizes bottles with deep, complex flavors and single-pour usability. Preference is given to spirits that are not overly saccharine and that can be enjoyed without elaborate mixing; some espresso, coffee, and chocolate liqueurs can be mellowed with a cream liqueur addition. Rankings reflect personal tasting and impressions, with some recommendations informed by promotional materials and manufacturer-provided products. The selection includes options suitable for simple two-ingredient nightcaps and emphasizes convenience for finishing a meal. Particularly cloying liqueurs are generally placed lower in the ranking, with Evan Williams Eggnog noted for strong burn and pronounced nutmeg.
