The Unexpected Liquor You Should Pair With Cream Soda
BY AUTUMN SWIERS
For easy yet impressive cocktails that inexperienced palettes can enjoy, pair cream soda with spiced rum. Combine three
parts cream soda with one
part spiced rum.
Cinnamon, allspice, vanilla, clove, star anise, cardamom, ginger, pepper, and nutmeg make spiced rum a natural fit
for cream soda's sweet, vanilla ice cream flavor.
From a visual standpoint, cream soda is colorless, golden, or
light tan, which makes an aesthetic match for spiced
rum's light brown hue.
Handle the carbonation carefully by always stirring gently and pouring the cream soda in after the spiced rum. Dr. Brown's cream soda works best for pairing with liquor.
Since cream soda is pretty flavorful, there’s no need to use your best rum. Opt for affordable spiced rums like Captain Morgan, Sailor Jerry, and Calypso.
