I want to make a proper sherry trifle, but do not want to use sherry! Is there an alternative liqueur that won't change the whole ethos of the trifle? Here is a link to how to make a sherry trifle.

The liqueur I use must also be good enough to have as a drink to go with the trifle.

Alchermes could be a good hint, in Italy is used as an ingredient in Zuppa inglese, a particular derivation of trifle ...as you are trying to do.

Just a reminder, I don't think it is really good to drink it as a glass of wine, but perfect with desserts.

  • Cherry Brandy, what? And you could substitute black cherry jam for the more traditional raspberry /strawberry jam ingredient.
