I cannot find birthday cake rum? Any suggestions?

A vanilla rum would be my next suggestion 🙂 I’ll make sure to add that to the recipe as a substitute.

Corey says
Yes, that should work out ok
Angel says
We were unable to find either recommended rum. Can you substitute rum extract for the rum? If so, how much would you use?
Corey says
I’ve only made and tested the recipe as written so I can’t say for sure.
Heather Hillestad says
Can you make this on a large scale or only one drink at a time?

Yes you can, you will just need to adjust the ingredients for how many servings you want. The recipe as written serves 4.
