The name is essentially a combination of the words Rum and Horchata, which is a traditional Mexican milk drink flavored with cinnamon, vanilla, and sugar. Some even compare the taste to the milk leftover after eating Cinnamon Toast Crunch, and who doesn’t love that!? It’s super sweet and often compared to Baileys Irish Cream, but the cinnamon really sets it apart and I think it’s even better than Baileys. RumChata is a liqueur made with dark rum, cream, vanilla, and cinnamon. They’re also extremely easy to make - I’m talking 4 ingredients or less! So they won’t add any extra stress to your plate whether it’s the holidays or you just want a simple tasty drink and you want it ASAP. These recipes all feature RumChata as a primary ingredient and are filled with creamy, dreamy goodness. As far as sweet liqueurs go, it’s by far my favorite and it pairs with SO many different mixers. Whenever I see RumChata listed as a cocktail ingredient, I instantly get excited. Once the sugar has dissolved, remove from burner and let cool.These RumChata drinks take deliciousness to a whole new level!

Ingredients for Copy Cat RumChata Unlike the copycat version, the store bought liqueur can be stored without refrigeration. And unlike traditional horchata, RumChata has dairy. But apparently there are ‘secret ingredients’ so… you know. The store bought liqueur is manufactured in Wisconsin, USA, however, and I can’t find any information on it containing nuts. The label says it’s a “horchata con ron” which translates to ‘horchata with rum.” Horchata is a milky drink made from ground almonds, tiger nuts, or rice that is commonly seen in Spain or Latin American countries. RumChata is a creamy liqueur that you can buy at your local liquor store. Third, you can use ice in it, but I’d recommend using “fake” ice cubes like these acrylic ones so they keep your drink cold without diluting your drink.Īt the bottom, I’ll link you to some of the drink recipes I’ve made using Rum Chata. A big one will give you the illusion that you didn’t make very much. I found that the mix gets a bit lumpy after a few days (not spoiled, just lumpy).

For the past couple of years, I’ve been meaning to do some more adjustments to the recipe to have it be closer to the original product and I think I might have managed it this time.īefore I get to the recipe, I want to note a few things.įirst, unlike Rum Chata, this really does need to be refrigerated and I’m not 100% how long it will last.
