About Zebra Domes....

I thought I read somewhere that they have a liqueur in them. Is this true? Everyone raves about them, but I don't even want to touch them if this is true. I hate liqueurs!

Yes, there is alcohol in them, but it's a coffee liquor -- not really an alcohol taste, if that's what you are worried about.

They are on the buffet at Bomas - Animal Kingdom Lodge. If you go, you can try one, since you really aren't paying for the dessert as a separate item. Who knows, maybe you will like it -- I do!
