What does Eggo Brunch in a Jar Sippin' Cream taste like?

You'll also find hints of caramel and a touch of smoke, reminding us that no brunch is complete without some form of bacon.
Eggo Brunch in a Jar Sippin' Cream redefines the traditional brunch experience by seamlessly intertwining the flavors of maple syrup's sweetness, the opulence of rich butter, the alluring aroma of smoky bacon, and the timeless appeal of classic Eggo waffles with a fiery rum that is sure to start your day on a high note.

The texture is smooth, creamy, and rich, but this drink is not for the faint of heart. There is no hiding the intense booze flavoring that overtakes your palate, throat, and stomach, and it will stay with you for a while.
How much alcohol is in Eggo Brunch in a Jar Sippin' Cream?

However, this morning concoction packs a massive punch of sugar and boozy goodness, reminding you that both sugar and alcohol are the captains of this ship.
