The holidays are a time for indulgence and what better way to indulge than with the sweet and festive combination of Trader Joe's new Boozy Macarons.
Trader Joe's new Boozy Macarons start with light and pillowy Parisian-style macarons in bold holiday hues. But unlike traditional macarons, Trader Joe's holiday version features the addition of premium rum, French XO brandy, and Cointreau triple sec liqueur. As Trader Joe's explains, "For each of the three distinct flavors, they add a bit of the respective spirit directly into the batter, so that every bite is a little like a cocktail in crisp, chewy, sandwich cookie form."
Though not kid-friendly, these Boozy Macarons are a great treat for holiday party cookie platters or paired with complementary rum, brandy, and Cointreau cocktails.
