Elevate your coleslaw game with this spirited twist—**Inebriated Coleslaw**, a bold and flavorful side dish that's perfect for BBQs, picnics, or casual gatherings. This recipe combines the classic crunch of green and red cabbage with sweet carrots and sharp red onion, all brought together by a creamy dressing with a boozy kick. The secret ingredient? A splash of spiced rum, which adds a warm, caramel-like depth to the tangy apple cider vinegar and honey-based dressing. Seasoned with Dijon mustard and celery seeds, this slaw strikes the perfect balance of sweet, tangy, and savory. Best served cold, this make-ahead dish only takes 20 minutes to prepare and gets even better after an hour in the fridge. Pair it with smoky barbecue or pile it onto sandwiches for a truly unforgettable bite!
Finely shred the green cabbage, red cabbage, and carrots using a sharp knife, mandoline, or food processor. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Thinly slice the red onion and add it to the bowl with the cabbage and carrots.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, spiced rum, honey, Dijon mustard, celery seeds, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss thoroughly to ensure all the vegetables are evenly coated. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the coleslaw for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, give the coleslaw a quick toss to redistribute the dressing. Serve cold as a side dish or on top of BBQ sandwiches for a delicious twist!
