Ingredients

  • 4 cups full-fat canned coconut milk or whole milk: This adds a creamy richness.

  • 2–8 ounces dark spiced rum or Kahlúa
  • 1/3 cup pure honey or authentic maple syrup: Sweetens naturally.
  • Cinnamon sugar blend
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt: Elevates the flavors.
  • 1 tablespoon finely grated orange zest: A splash of citrus brightness.
