Dessert or Nightcap?

Ever had difficulty choosing between having a little dessert or ending your evening with a nightcap? 

Solution? Boozy desserts! 

I discovered this today when I was trying to make space in my fridge and found a not so good bottle of rose that I bought a while back. My remedy? Make Rose Berry Sorbet!

Simply combine 2/3 cup sugar, 2 cups rose. Bring to boil. 

Add 3 cups raspberries or berries (frozen or fresh). 

I used a combo of both, fresh blueberries, and frozen berries. 

Puree in a blender and freeze. 

Since V isn't so much of a rose fan I made him Bourbon balls, Courtesy of 101 Cookie Recipes . 

2.5 cups Vanilla wafers

not to be confused with these, like I did. 

1 cup walnuts

Process until fine in  food processor. 

Double boil 3/4 cup semi sweet chocolate chips, 2 tablespoons corn syrup, 1 cup sugar, stir constantly. Remove from heat, add 1/2 cup bourbon and/or whiskey. 

Mix with dry ingredients and roll into balls and dredge through powdered sugar. 

Bourbon balls were like chocolatey boozy cookie dough, sorbet was more like granita than sorbet but all in all, not bad!
