    Rim a rocks glass with cinnamon sugar: run a lime wedge around the edge, press into a plate of cinnamon sugar.

    Drizzle dulce de leche inside the glass in a swirl pattern.

  3. 03

    In a cocktail shaker, combine aged rum, Kahlúa, dulce de leche, and heavy cream.

  4. 04

    Add ice and shake vigorously for 12-15 seconds until well chilled and the dulce de leche is fully incorporated.

  5. 05

    Strain into the prepared glass over fresh ice.

  6. 06

    Optional: float a small drizzle of dulce de leche on top.

lightbulb The chef's notes

“The dulce de leche needs a hard shake to fully dissolve. Don't be gentle. If it's too thick, warm it for 10 seconds in the microwave before adding to the shaker.”
