Texas Sling is a creamy dessert drink with coffee, almond, Irish cream, and overproof rum. It should be blended briefly so it stays cold without becoming watery.
Blend Kahlua, Irish cream, amaretto, 151 proof rum, cream, and ice briefly until smooth. Pour into a wine glass and serve without garnish.
Serve in a wine glass with a smooth tan color and no whipped topping.
Pair it with brownies, tiramisu, vanilla ice cream, pecan pie, or chocolate desserts.
This is a modern dessert-bar drink rather than a flaming service classic, despite the overproof rum component.
Best after dinner, for dessert rounds, or as a rich party drink.
Coffee liqueur adds roast, Irish cream and cream soften the texture, amaretto adds almond sweetness, and 151 proof rum raises warmth.
Creamy, sweet, boozy, and dessert-like.
Use regular rum instead of 151 proof rum for a softer version.
