This was a fun holiday drink to serve in place of the expected mulled cider or cocoa. The bitter coffee and rum were a bit too strong for me with only 2 tablespoons ice cream per serving - I'd use 1/4 cup ice cream, or use whipped cream instead. Definitely add the cinnamon sticks; the longer they steep in the coffee mixture, the yummier this is.
