Deliciously-sweet cocktails aren’t the only treat you’ll find at Ampersand. Birmingham’s new dessert bar will specialize in high-end dessertsโ€”many of which are infused with alcohol, including:

  • The Turtle Brownie Sundae โ€” Two brownies wrapped in a chocolate shell with a scoop of ice cream and drizzled with hot chocolate
  • The Pineapple Upside Down Cake โ€” An upside-down cake infused with Malibu rum and served with a side of whipped cream

“Our team has put a lot of effort, love and sweet things inside Ampersand Cocktails and Desserts. We look forward to our guests enjoying something new, adventurous and sexyโ€”so come out and see what Ampersand is all about.”
