Yes, you can use any preferred type of liqueur, as long as it has a not-too-strong aroma so as not to affect the chocolate flavor.
How do I add orange liqueur more smoothly?
Add the orange liqueur gradually, mixing delicately to prevent it from foaming too much.
How do I make the strawberries soft?
