RumChata is a popular rum-based cream liqueur with a strong cinnamon finish! Here are our top RumChata drinks to try.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Cinnamon Toast Crunch Shot

  • 1 ounce Fireball whisky
  • 1 ounce RumChata
  • For the rim: 4 teaspoon granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon

For the RumChata Coffee

  • 6 ounces (¾ cup) hot coffee
  • 1 ½ ounces (3 tablespoons) RumChata
  • Sweetened whipped cream, whipped to soft peaks

For the RumChata White Russian: 

  • 2 ounces vodka
  • ½ ounce Kahlua (or other coffee liqueur)
  • 1 ounce RumChata (or reduce for a less sweet drink; see Notes)
  • Ice, for serving (try clear ice)

Instructions

  1. For the Cinnamon Toast Crunch Shot: Place the cinnamon and sugar on a plate. Run your finger around the edge of a shot glass (or a small glass if serving as a cocktail). Dip the edge of the rim into a plate of cinnamon and sugar. Stir the Fireball and RumChata together the glass. If desired, you can serve over ice as a cocktail.
  2. For the RumChata Coffee: Make the coffee, using your favorite method (PouroverFrench PressAeropress, or Moka Pot). Make the homemade whipped cream, making sure to whip to soft peaks. Add the coffee to a glass or Irish coffee mug, then stir in the RumChata. Gently float the whipped cream on top using the back of a spoon.
  3. For the RumChata White Russian:  Add the vodka and Kahlua to a low ball glass. Fill it with ice. Top with the Rumchata. Stir until cold (or stir just a bit to get the swirl effect).

Notes

To convert to tablespoons, 1 ounce = 2 tablespoons. 

This level of RumChata makes a pretty sweet drink. If you’re worried about sweetness level, cut down the RumChata (the Kahlua is already reduced vs a classic White Russian).
