These are the kinds of liquor that go well with fruitcake: Rum (any kind even flavoured or spiced), brandy including slivovitz or other distilled fruit based, vodka including fruit flavoured, sherry, liqueurs. I had some local spiced whisky (it had vanilla and nutmeg)--super good. Any maple syrup liqueur is nice mixed with plain brandy to cut the sugar down. Crème de cacao is good in cake that has chocolate. . If you want to finish boozed cake with a glaze, then boil some sieved fruit jam for 2 minutes and just brush with that. I have not tried all fruit preserves. I have never tried the cream based booze. I do not think it would keep for a month.
