Experimenting with cream soda

Decided to see what I could make with cream soda. Still have quite a bit of workshopping to do, but my current mix: 6 oz cream soda 1.5 oz spiced rum .5 oz caramel vodka .25 oz drambuie

I found it a pleasant drink for the evening.

What brand of soda? I find some brands cloying, essentially a vanilla syrup with fizz.
- Sioux City. Not the best cream soda I have ever had, but not bad for being on sale.
Cream soda, plus blue Curaçao, plus banana vodka, makes a bubblegum cocktail.
- Well now I have to get some banana vodka to give it a try. Thanks for the suggestion.
Cream soda is part of my favorite Halloween cocktail - cream soda, vodka, sambucca, splash of lime juice, the recipe is in this community somewhere I'm sure, make one every Halloween. It was developed when I needed a licorice cocktail and spent weeks trying to make one more sophisticated, like good black licorice, they all turned out so foul. Gave up and went in another direction, this one came out tasting just like a black jellybean, so that's what I call it. Very sweet, and licorice is polarizing but people who like it really like it, and those who don't generally won't even try it, that's fine.
- This makes me wish I liked black licorice more. If I ever have sambucca on hand, I may see if I can find the recipe and give it a try anyway for the experience. Thanks for the suggestion.
