Otherwise if you see this pop up somewhere definitely give it a try.Brand of British alcoholic drink Three Olives Vodka (I suspect Goldschlager would work as well), as well as RumChata mixed with Three Olives Loopy Vodka, which was another version of cereal milk – more delicious than the other variations of this I have tried.Ī few things to keep in mind, RumChata is a liquor so it is less alcoholic (27.5 proof) and being dairy based it is 140 calories for 1.5oz (akin to Jager but not nearly as bad as the Irish Carbomb) so if you are looking to get hammered for less calories maybe don’t order 10 in a sitting. And that WAS Cinnamon Toast Crunch in a glass. So chilled RumChata – delicious on its own but I also sampled it mixed with the suddenly everywhere Fireball Whiskey (equal parts of both, chilled and served in a shot glass). And it although the dairy based aspect might make you think of something like Bailey’s Irish Cream, it is extremely light in texture with a smooth finish. And apparently this is when this delicious concoction was born. Well the lovely people at RumChata said – “hey this would be great with rum.” Duh. RumChata is based on an ancient Egyptian drink, Horchata, still popular in Spain, which essentially is made of rice, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and milk. It’s milky appearance reminded me of Coquito, the rum-based Puerto Rican answer to Egg Nog at Christmas time (I always looked forward to getting my annual homemade batch from an especially friendly regular – I assure you that never lasted very long). In a nutshell I was told “It kind of tastes like rum and cinnamon toast crunch.” Sold. So being the ever curious epicurean I had ask what this was all about. For some reason I haven’t seen this in any of my local NYC spots yet, but during a visit to Baltimore last weekend I found it all over the place. But having recently discovered this delightfully sweet and a little spicy liquor I had to stray for an evening. Even in a foreign bar, I generally stick to what I know and love: beer, whiskey (and Irish Carbombs of course).
