Ready to get creative? Discovering ways to transform favorite cocktail creations into uniquely delectable desserts provides you – as a baker or manufacturer – with an entirely innovative medium to attract new customers and consumers and amaze them with your culinary creativity.

 

Decadent AND Alcohol-Free? Yes, Please!

Needless to say, desserts with alcohol certainly give consumers something to buzz about, but if you don’t have any alcohol on hand, or simply don’t want to use alcohol in your dessert recipe(s), your sweet creations can still be decadent and delicious.

This can be achieved by adding the distinct taste of gin, bourbon, rum, wine, or any other alcoholic beverage without the boozy components by incorporating a premium flavor extract to your application.

This allows your dessert to benefit from the essence of the actual alcoholic beverage without having to worry about the overwhelming alcoholic addition.
