My grandfather's love of baking fruitcake cookies during the holiday season led to the discovery of one of my husband and I's favorite holiday treats, Fruitcake-infused rum.
Ingredients needed to make the best Christmas Cocktail:
You really don't need much to make this delicious Christmas cocktail. You will definitely need a batch of Fruitcake Rum. And you will also need a bottle of fizzy cola.
I guess the only question is....do you want to make a BIG BATCH of Fruitcake infused rum or a small batch?
Big Batch Fruitcake Infused Rum
I am unapologetic about what I am about to say; I think that the best part of any fruitcake recipe is the boozy fruit-filled liquid that is the result of soaking all of the delicious dried fruit to make a fruitcake. There, I said it and I don't feel bad about it, not one bit!
