[QUOTE="jay hay-char, post: 951913, member: 116810"] To be honest, I'm not sure any spirits would really work with a trifle - the whole point about putting booze in a trifle is that it has a measure of sweetness (although I suppose some people put dry sherry in?) to contribute to the overall taste. If you were to use spirits I'd agree that brandy - though not scotch, which I think would taste very odd - might be a runner, or possibly dark rum. On the whole, however, I'd accept the inevitability of added carbs from a liqueur or sherry of some kind as a compromise in the interests of verisimilitude :) Just to pull things back on track: Waste good Scotch by putting it in a trifle? Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggggggggggggggggh! :D [/QUOTE]
