What other liquor do you use in Tiramisu?

I have made tiramisu for quite awhile now, mostly using dark rum for the liquor. I'm wondering what other variation of liquor I can use to give the coffee a good kick. Thanks everyone!|||Here's what I've seen in tiramisu recipes


Amaretto


Brandy


Kahlua


Marsala Wine|||I found Frangelico to be one of the best ones and it could be as well mixed with other liquors or brandies if you find it useful.

|||Try it with Ameretto or Kalua|||This recipe will knock your socks off--I guarantee it! My brother, who isn't into sweets, made this for a dinner party he was invited to and it disappeared in minutes. Now, when he's invited over, they always ask him to bring it.





Amaretto Tiramisu





8 ounces cream cheese; at room temp.


1/3 cup sugar


5 tablespoons Amaretto liqueur


1/2 teaspoon vanilla


3 cups whipped topping


24 ladyfingers


3/4 cup strong coffee


1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder





Directions:


Beat together cream cheese and sugar in a medium size bowl until light and creamy, 3-4 minutes. Beat in Amaretto and vanilla. Fold whipped topping into cream cheese mixture. Arrange half of the ladyfingers in dish just large enough to hold them in one layer, such as a 9x9" casserole dish. Sprinkle with half the coffee. Top with half the cream cheese mixture, spreading smooth. Sprinkle with half the cocoa. Arrange the remaining ladyfingers over cocoa. Sprinkle with remaining coffee. Top with remaining cream cheese mixture, smoothing the top. Sprinkle with remaining cocoa (or grated chocolate or even crushed chocolate covered coffee beans). Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.|||Rum, brandy, or Marsala are the traditional ingredients|||Irish! Think "Irish Coffee"


Or, for a milder version, Irish Cream (Bailey's).








Bert|||I would generally use brandy. This is my favorite recipe.....it was also the favorite recipe of the late Princess of Wales:
