Dessert Drinks

These are the cocktails that double as dessert — rich, indulgent and built around flavors like chocolate, vanilla and cream. A chocolate martini or a mudslide can close out a dinner party just as well as anything you'd serve on a plate.

• Milk punch is the creamy, spirit-forward classic worth knowing.
• Most dessert cocktails come together quickly with just a shaker and a few ingredients.
• They work as an after-dinner drink or as a standalone treat.
