Holiday food is decadent food, and so are the drinks. This cocktail is no exception–it’s made extra special with a base of Don Q Gran Añejo Rum mixed with a little half-and-half, and chocolate and hazelnut liqueurs. Simply put: it’s incredible. Every host(ess) should have a signature holiday drink and this one could be yours!

Holiday Hazelnut Rum Cocktail

 

As I was dreaming up this cocktail and thinking about Don Q Gran Añejo rum, my mind drifted to a holiday cake I’ve been making for about ten years. It’s based on a German-style hazelnut torte that combines layers of eggy cake made with ground hazelnuts and studded with shaved dark chocolate, and soaked with a rum syrup, then frosted with Cremé Chantilly (the fancy way of saying “whipped cream”).

This holiday rum cocktail contains all those flavors rolled into one smooth, decadent drink perfect for sipping. As I mentioned above, it would be a great signature drink at any party or get-together, or to enjoy by the firelight with music playing in the background. The point is, this cocktail is meant so be savored one sip at a time.

The smooth flavor of Gran Añejo marries well with the other liqueurs and half-and-half, and it does not require any additional sweetener. I like adding a pinch of freshly grated nutmeg on top, as well as dark chocolate shavings. This is just the cocktail you want after a nice dinner with or as a dessert. It’s that decadent.

Notes

  • This cocktail is great served at room temperature, but if you prefer a chilled cocktail, place the cream, rum, and other liqueurs into a shaker with ice.
  • To make this dairy-free, substitute full-fat coconut milk or another thick and creamy non-dairy beverage. A non-dairy coffee creamer would work nicely.
