Made with Rumchata, Kahlua, and Fireball, this Cinnamon Roll Cocktail has all of the best flavors of the holiday season in one drink. Decadent, creamy, and so festive! Make one for yourself or a whole pitcher for a party.
This drink is lovely served with our impressive cinnamon-sugar star bread or cinnamon roll cheesecake!
Easy Christmas Cocktail Recipe
This Cinnamon Roll Cocktail just tastes like Christmas. It is so warm and comforting, you can sip on it all night (or day – ha!) long. The Rumchata and Kahlua make it super creamy and sweet, like the icing on a cinnamon roll, while the cinnamon notes from the Fireball really make this recipe stand out.
Since this drink is so rich, it’s perfect for sipping slowly. Though I must warn you – 3 of the 4 ingredients are alcohol and while Kahlua and Rumchata have a fairly low alcohol percentage, the two combined with Fireball definitely pack a punch. A very, very tasty punch!
Ingredients Needed
This easy Christmas cocktail is made with just 4 ingredients plus ice and optional toppings.
(Scroll below to the printable recipe card for details and measurements.)
- Rumchata – Rumchata adds a creamy vanilla flavor to the drink. In a pinch, Bailey’s would also work here – though you may want to add a pinch of cinnamon to make up for it.
- Heavy cream – The addition of heavy cream helps to balance out the liquor and ensures the drink is extra creamy.
- Fireball – Fireball adds the majority of the cinnamon flavor to the cocktail.
- Kahlua – Kahlua adds more vanilla and caramel flavor, with just a hint of coffee flavor.
- Toppings – I like to add whipped cream and ground cinnamon on the cocktail before serving.
