Served anytime, this cake-inspired cocktail is best paired with a sweet, syrupy dessert. We love this rum cake cocktail paired with chocolate truffles. It’s decadent and complements the sharp flavors of rum and allspice dram. I also love pairing this cocktail with soft cheeses like brie or camembert, and it’s especially great with fruit like figs or cranberries.
With a hint of nutty flavor, this cocktail is perfect with candied pecans or candied almonds. So for adventurous hosts, a cheese board with brie, candied pecans, and chocolate is the perfect holiday dessert (and a welcome break from cookies). If you’re feeling especially energized this holiday season, this cocktail is also perfect for brunch. Instead of mimosas or Irish coffee, it goes well with waffles, pancakes, and French toast. One last thing I love pairing with this festive holiday cocktail…a heaping pile of rum cake, of course!
