Notes
Substitutes:
- Spiced Rum: If you don't have spiced rum, I've used regular dark rum with a pinch of cinnamon and nutmeg for a similar flavor profile.
- Butterscotch Liqueur: Caramel liqueur works well if butterscotch is unavailable. It gives a slightly different sweetness but still complements the drink.
- Toffee Liqueur or Syrup: I've tried using almond liqueur in place of toffee liqueur, also white crème de cacao can be a good alternative.
- Sparkling Wine: If you are out of sparkling wine opt for a touch of white wine and soda water.
Making a Pitcher of Sticky Toffee Fizz:
- Scale: For a pitcher serving 8, multiply all ingredients by 8. Use 12 oz of spiced rum, 6 oz of butterscotch liqueur, and 6 oz of toffee liqueur.
- Mix: In a large pitcher, combine the spiced rum, butterscotch, and toffee liqueur. Stir well.
- Serve: Pour the mixture into individual ice-filled highball glasses, top with sparkling Wine, garnish with toffee sauce, and serve immediately.
Making it Non-Alcoholic:
- Spiced Rum Substitute: Use non-alcoholic spiced rum alternatives available in stores; they mimic the flavor without alcohol.
- Butterscotch & Toffee Liqueurs Substitute: Create a syrup using brown sugar, butter extract, and vanilla essence for that sweet touch.
- Proceed As Usual: Replace alcoholic ingredients with these substitutes and follow the original steps for a non-alcoholic version.
Making it Vegan:
- Check Ingredients: Ensure all liqueurs are vegan-friendly; some may contain animal-derived products.
- Vegan Garnish: Use vegan caramel sauce for garnish instead of regular caramel sauce.
- Proceed As Usual: Follow the recipe using these vegan-friendly options for an entirely plant-based cocktail experience.
