What is Rum Chata?
One of my favorite liquors, Rum Chata, is strong enough to truly be an adult drink, but not knock you over strong like straight liquor.
Rum Chata is a cream rum based drink that works well in mixed drinks, but is smooth enough to enjoy on its own as a sipping drink.
One of the most popular mixed drinks featuring rum chat is a rum chata white russian, which is next on my list to try along with a rum chata coconut snowflake cocktail for coconut rum lovers!
These are some of my favorite rum chata drink ideas that I’ve created. Cheers!

Easy Rum Chata Recipes
Our local liquor store has wine tastings and they often have a liquor to try as well. I tried Rum Chata there several years ago and loved it.
Usually I just sip it from a small glass and savor the taste, but I decided to give some recipes a try with my all time favorite liquor.
Try these cocktail recipes and let me know which is your favorite in the comments!
Adults-Only Rum Chata Hot Cocoa
This rum chata hot cocoa got an exclamation of, “OH! This is the best drink I’ve ever had!” from my friend Jody. It definitely does not disappoint.

To add to the presentation you could rim the glass with crushed graham crackers.

Wow. This mix of alcohols makes for the perfect drink… but it’s strong so watch out! This Pumpkin Spice Rum Chata would make a beautiful Christmas party cocktail served in a martini glass.

Chai Rum Chata Recipe
Our favorite local restaurant, The Corner Stable, had Chai Rum Chata as a special one summer, served cold. I just *had* to have it at home so I recreated it. Served hot or warm, it’s delicious for any weather.

You'll need:
- 3 cups heavy cream

- 3 teaspoon homemade vanilla extract
- a pinch of nutmeg
