What does the The Rum Milk Cocktail taste like?

The overall taste is reminiscent of a spiced milk shake, with a lingering hint of rum on the finish.

Use whole milk for richness and a creamier texture. Shake vigorously with ice to chill and emulsify the ingredients. Don’t over-sweeten, taste as you go, and adjust powdered sugar accordingly.
