    Cinnamon Roll Cocktail Ingredients Needed

    Below is a brief overview of each ingredient needed to make this sweet cocktail. To see printable recipe card, scroll to the bottom of this post.

    • Rumchata– is a creamy liqueur that’s made with Caribbean rum, dairy cream, cinnamon, vanilla, and other flavorings. This adds the creaminess to the drink.
    • Fireball Whisky– a cinnamon-flavored whisky liqueur, this brings all the cinnamon flavor throughout. Adds a kick of cinnamon spice.
    • Cream Soda– this adds a vanilla taste to the overall flavor. Any brand works.
    • Cinnamon/ Sugar– you’ll use ground cinnamon and sugar to rim the cocktail glass.
    • Light Corn Syrup– this is used to rim the glass so that the ground cinnamon sticks perfectly.
    • Whipped Cream/ Cinnamon Sticks– these are both optional, but add a great garnish idea.

    all the ingredients needed to make cinnamon roll cocktail.

    How to make a Cinnamon Roll Cocktail

    1. Rim your cocktail glass by adding the corn syrup to a shallow saucer or dish.
    2. In a separate saucer or small dish. add the sugar and cinnamon, stirring to combine.
    3. Dip the glass rim into the corn syrup, followed by the cinnamon sugar mixture.
    4. In your cocktail shaker, add a handful of ice cubes, the Rumchata, and Fireball. Shake vigorously to combine and chill.
    5. Pour into the glass and fill remainder up with cream soda. PRO TIP: feel free to pour over ice in glass to keep it chill longer.
    6. Top with whipped cream and garnish with a cinnamon stick if desired. Serve and enjoy!

    Tips for making this Rumchata Cocktail

    • If you don’t have Rumchata on hand, you can also use Bailey’s Irish Cream or Kahlua for a coffee addition.
    • In place of the cream soda, you can use milk, heavy cream, or half and half. It won’t add the carbonation, but will still be a great substitution.
    • Chill the liquors prior to making this recipe as you won’t have to use ice and that equates a less watered down beverage.
    • I don’t recommend making this in advance as the cream soda will lose its carbonation and not be as bubbly of an addition. Assemble when ready to enjoy.
    • This is a great recipe to increase and make in a large pitcher for serving lots of drinks at a party. It is ready in minutes and everyone will enjoy.

      Is it cream soda like the pink stuff or root beer like the photo shows? I want to make this proper 😉

        Either works, but I tend to prefer the A & W brand of Cream Soda in this recipe! Enjoy!

      Hmmm .. maybe I bought the wrong sort of cream soda (IBC brand), but my drink tasted more like watered-down Fireball than a cinnamon roll….. :'(

        Hmmmm, that’s weird! Play around with brands and see which is your favorite. I have found that different brands change the flavors completely and its all based on preference!
