Somewhere between a cocktail and a dessert, this Italian-influenced White Russian is hard to resist. With rum, Kahlúa, homemade whipped cream, and a cocoa powder and lady finger garnish, this dessert cocktail checks off all the boxes. Whether you're looking to get the party started or finish off the night with an extra sweet sipper, you can't go wrong with these tiramisu-inspired drinks.
Whipping your cream in a mason jar may be a workout, but cleanup is minimal and the result is well worth the effort. If you don’t feel like making it by hand, swap in store-bought whipped topping instead! Looking for a festive upgrade? A dash of orange bitters, a pinch of ground cinnamon, or some fresh nutmeg shavings add another dimension to this decadent drink.
