- You can even add a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg for extra flavor!
Variation
If you want to change it up, you can try using different cream liqueurs instead of RumChata, like Irish cream. You can also mix in some chocolate syrup for a richer float!
FAQs
Can I make these floats non-alcoholic?
Yes! Just skip the RumChata and use a vanilla-flavored cream soda instead.
What if I don’t have vanilla ice cream?
You can use any flavor of ice cream you like, but vanilla works best since it complements the RumChata.
Can I make these floats ahead of time?
It’s best to make them right before serving. If you prepare ahead, the ice cream will melt and the float won’t be as good. Enjoy them fresh for the best experience!
