These Trader Joe's Macarons Are So Boozy You Need To Show ID To Buy Them
If you've ever wondered what true happiness looks like, just take a trip to your local Trader Joe's and hightail it to the frozen desserts section. There you'll find bliss amongst the cheesecakes, apple tarts, and macarons. And as if the frozen desserts section couldn't get any better, Trader Joe's has just introduced limited-edition boozy macarons.
In each box of boozy macarons you'll find three distinct flavors: rum, XO brandy, and Cointreau. And with a 2.6% maximum alcohol content, you're going to need to show some ID if you plan on purchasing them.
Some people on social media have already confessed to downing entire boxes of the boozy treats. "These are amazing. I may have eaten the whole box on the drive home and hid the evidence," user @thetonybishop wrote in a comment on Instagram. Others noted that you can definitely taste the liquor in them.
Although it might be tempting to eat the macarons straight out of the box, Trader Joe's has shared a handful of pairing suggestions that'd be perfect for entertaining or enjoying the dessert solo.
"A great, grown-up dessert for holiday feasts, New Year’s festivities, or winter get-togethers of all kinds, our Boozy Macarons can be enjoyed totally on their own, paired up with mixed drinks that share their featured flavor, or served alongside other sweets to create complementary, cocktail-inspired combinations. Try the crème-colored rum Macarons with our Fleur de Sel Caramels to evoke a hot buttered rum, the violet XO brandy Macarons with our Lemon Bars for a brandy sour, or the orange Cointreau Macarons with Nantucket Style Cranberry Pie for a cosmopolitan," reads a description on the Trader Joe's website.
If you plan on grabbing a box, which boozy flavor will you be diving into first?
