Recipe for Homemade Rum Chata

By Ava Moore

Introduction

Hi there, fellow foodies! I’m so excited to be sharing with you my recipe for homemade Rum Chata. If you’re not familiar with this delicious drink, Rum Chata is a creamy blend of rum and horchata, a traditional Mexican drink made with rice, cinnamon, and vanilla.

Now, I know what you’re thinking – why bother making it at home when you can just buy it at the store? Well, for starters, making it at home ensures that you know exactly what’s going into it. Plus, it’s a fun and easy DIY project that you can share with friends and family.

Before we dive into the recipe, let’s take a look at some interesting facts and statistics about Rum Chata:

  • Rum Chata was first introduced in 2009 and has since become one of the most popular liqueurs in the US.
  • In 2020, Rum Chata was ranked as the 14th best-selling liqueur in the US, with sales of over 1.5 million cases.
  • According to a survey conducted by YouGov, Rum Chata is the second most popular cream liqueur in the US, after Bailey’s Irish Cream.

Ingredients

Now, let’s get to the good stuff – the ingredients you’ll need to make homemade Rum Chata:

  • 1 cup of white rum
  • 1 cup of horchata (you can make your own or buy it at the store)
  • 1/2 cup of heavy cream
  • 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup of granulated sugar

Instructions

Now that you have all your ingredients, it’s time to make some Rum Chata! Here’s how:

  1. In a blender, combine the rum, horchata, heavy cream, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and sugar.
  2. Blend on high speed until everything is well combined and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  3. Transfer the mixture to a bottle or jar with a tight-fitting lid.
  4. Chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving.
  5. When ready to serve, give the bottle a good shake and pour the Rum Chata over ice.
  6. Garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a cinnamon stick, if desired.
  7. Enjoy!

See, I told you it was easy! And trust me, the end result is absolutely delicious. I prefer to make my own horchata instead of buying it at the store, as it gives the Rum Chata a more authentic flavor, but feel free to use store-bought if you’re short on time.

I did this recipe with my friends last weekend and it led to a fun night of sipping on our homemade Rum Chata and catching up. It’s a great drink to share with loved ones or to enjoy on your own.
