Can I add mint schnapps to an Oreo No Bake Dessert without altering the texture too much?

For St. Patricks Day I'm making an Oreo No Bake Dessert straight from the box mix sold in stores. My bright idea was to dye it green with food coloring and then add peppermint schnapps. I was wondering if anyone else has made a similar dessert with alcohol. I'm afraid that the schnapps will interfere with the desserts ability to properly "set up". Any advice?

i think it would interfere. most recipes calling for alcohol to use as flavor involve actually cooking the liquid out. i think those desserts are pretty cheap just try it beforehand
Reply:First take a shot then eat the cake.
Reply:Try replacing some of the other liquid it calls for with the schnapps, so there's the same amount of liquid overall.
Reply:don't add too much or it won't set .... Try green Creme de Menthe instead too. You'll have the flavor AND the color! ... and then you can make frozen grasshopper pies with it later .... OR serve grasshoppers with the pie! (1/2 shot green creme de menthe; 1/2 shot white creme de cacao; 2 shots cream; ice cubes on the blender)
