FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

What if I don’t like one or more of the liquors in this?

Other options include: Baileys Irish Cream, Vodka (vanilla, whipped cream or caramel flavors), white chocolate liquor, spiced rum, regular light or dark rum, Fireball.

Can this be made ahead of time?

Unfortunately no because the ice cream would melt.  If there are any leftovers, store in the freezer, you may need to blend it again to combine.

Could I substitute the vanilla ice cream?

Yes. You could use chocolate instead of vanilla and just skip the hot cocoa mix.

What if I can’t find some of the toppings?

Thats ok! I just added the candy eyes, etc. to make it look like Rudolph but none of that is necessary for this to taste good!
