Equipment

To make this drink, The shaker is important because it helps blend the maple syrup and liquors together.

I also need a glass, usually a rocks glass or an old-fashioned glass.
A long spoon helps stir if I want less foam.
I sometimes use a fine mesh strainer to catch ice chips.

Ingredients

Here are the ingredients I use to make one serving:

RumChata 2 ounces
Bourbon 1.5 ounces
Pure Maple Syrup 0.5 ounce
Fresh Lemon Juice 0.5 ounce
Club Soda 2 ounces
Ice As needed

Optional: Cinnamon stick or grated nutmeg for garnish

Instructions

First, I fill a shaker with fresh ice. I pour in the RumChata, bourbon, maple syrup, and lemon juice.

I shake them for about fifteen seconds until the mix feels cold.
Next, I strain the drink into a glass filled halfway with fresh ice.
I pour the club soda gently on top and stir once or twice, so I don’t lose the fizz.

I add a cinnamon stick, a dusting of nutmeg, or even a thin lemon wheel to finish.
Sometimes, I chill the glass in advance with ice water to keep the drink colder for longer.
If I don’t want it on the rocks, I strain it into a chilled glass with no ice.

Notes

This cocktail tastes sweet and creamy with a touch of spice from the bourbon and garnish. I adjust maple syrup or lemon juice if I want it sweeter or more tart.

Real maple syrup blends better than pancake syrup and gives a richer flavor. For a lighter version, I sometimes add more club soda or use less bourbon.

I find it tastes best fresh, as the fizz fades after a while. If serving to a group, I double the recipe and shake in batches so each drink stays cold and fresh.

Tasting Notes

When I take my first sip, I notice the smooth sweetness from the RumChata right away. The creamy texture stands out and gives the drink a gentle, milky flavor.

The maple syrup adds a touch of natural sweetness and warmth. It blends well with the slight spice from the bourbon.

I can taste hints of caramel and vanilla as I continue to drink. What I taste most in each sip:

Creamy vanilla from the RumChata
Toasty oak and mild spice from the bourbon
Warm maple from the syrup

The drink finishes with a light, fizzy feel from the soda water. This keeps the flavors from feeling too heavy or rich.

I notice that the balance of sweet and spice makes this cocktail easy to enjoy. The finish is subtle, with just a hint of lingering warmth.
