- KAHLUA: Kahlúa coffee liqueur is one of the main ingredients in many of the world's favorite cocktails. Therefore, to make this recipe non-alcoholic----I created a great simple syrup substitute.
- VEGAN CARAMEL SAUCE: If you'd like to make your own homemade caramel sauce, see my DF Caramel Apple Cider recipe.
- STORAGE (CARAMEL SAUCE): Leftover caramel sauce can be stored in a tightly sealed mason jar for up to two weeks. When ready to use, simply reheat sauce in the microwave at 15 second intervals until softened and at room temp.
- ALCOHOL: If you'd like to keep this recipe vegan, but want to spruce things up with alcohol, feel free to add 1 ounce of rum, vodka, etc.
- SERVING: To make additional mocktails, simply double or triple ingredients, depending on need.
