what is rum chata

RumChata is a cream liqueur that was first manufactured in Pewaukee, Wisconsin in 2009. It is made from a blend of Caribbean rum, dairy cream, cinnamon, vanilla, sugar, and other flavorings. The name RumChata is a portmanteau of rum and horchata, and the liqueur was designed to taste like a mixture of the two. It contains 13.75% or 15% alcohol by volume, depending on where it is sold. RumChata is similar to Baileys Irish Cream and is the second most popular cream liqueur in the US market. The drink can be enjoyed on the rocks or in coffee. There are also many RumChata drink recipes available that use the liqueur as an ingredient.
