What is RumChata?

RumChata is a unique, delicious and refreshing mix of liquor, spices and cream. It’s flavorful, easy-to-drink and creates a distinctly different type of cocktail.

This rum-cream liqueur is a blend of aged Caribbean rum, cream from Wisconsin along with cinnamon and vanilla spices to create a sweet sipping liqueur that is delicious on it’s own or with a variety of mixers.

It even tastes amazing in this Rumchata Hot Chocolate.

RumChata White Russian Directions

Easy step-by-step instructions to make a delish RumChata White Russian:

Step 1: Dip the rim of your glass in Simple Syrup then coat the rim with Cinnamon Sugar.

This step is optional, but it’s so good, I wouldn’t skip it!

Dipping rim of the glass in cinnamon sugar spice.

Step 2: Fill your glass with ice.

I filled the glass to the top with ice and as you pour ingredients into your glass, some of it will slightly melt leaving enough room for all the ingredients.

Lowball glass with cinnamon sugar rim and filled with ice. Step 3: Add 1.5 – 2 ounces of RumChata. I love the taste of RumChata, so I used 2 ounces.

Pouring Rumchata into glass.

Step 4: Add 1 ounce of cream. You can use Half & Half or if you want your drink even creamier, use Heavy Whipping Cream.

Tip: I do not suggest using milk as it’s not thick enough to create the creamy texture needed for a good RumChata White Russian.

Pouring cream into glass.

Step 5: Add a .5 ounce of vodka.

Since RumChata has a lower alcohol content, the vodka gives it the boozy kick it needs.

Pouring Vodka into glass.

Step 6: Add 1 ounce of Kahlua or your favorite brand of Coffee Liqueur and stir.

You can use up to 1.5 ounces of Kahlua. I lean towards less coffee liqueur and only used 1 ounce. Kahlua has a strong coffee flavor and too much will overpower the cinnamon flavor from the RumChata.

Pouring Kahlua into glass.

Step 7: Add additional ice if needed to fill the glass.

Enjoy!
