Drink your dessert

Dessert-flavored vodka isn't typically my beverage of choice, but I'm down to try anything once. Stoli Salted Karamel vodka (available for around $24 at Total Wine & More, various locations) isn't syrupy sweet and has a nice caramel flavor, with a hint of smoke—it may not ever be my go-to, but it's a fun changeup from the usual wine or beer fare. Take it on the rocks, or mix it with some apple juice and cream soda for a tasty caramel-apple cocktail. www.stoli.com.
