Wedding Cake
Cocktail recipe

Rating

3.55 / 5
The Wedding Cake cocktail is a tropical and rich concoction that embodies the celebratory spirit of its namesake. Its base is a harmonious blend of white rum and sweet, nutty amaretto, complemented by creamy elements of milk, cream, and coconut cream that lend it a luscious mouthfeel. The addition of pineapple juice injects a vibrant, fruity note, making for a balanced and indulgent drink. As it's typically presented in a hurricane glass, it often boasts a presentation as grand as a wedding cake itself, adorned with enticing garnishes such as crumbled chocolate and grated almonds, further enhancing its dessert-like qualities. This cocktail is a festive choice, capturing the essence of a special occasion in a glass.
