RumChata White Russian Cocktail
A creamy, cinnamon‑kissed twist on the classic White Russian. RumChata blends with vodka, coffee liqueur, and cream, plus an optional cinnamon‑sugar rim.
Equipment
- Lowball/rocks glass
- Cocktail shaker or mixing glass
- Jigger
- Bar spoon
- Small plate (for cinnamon sugar rim)
- Paper towel or napkin
Ingredients
- 2 oz RumChata
- 1 oz vodka
- 1 oz coffee liqueur Kahlua or similar
- 1 oz heavy cream or half and half or milk
- 1 tbsp cinnamon sugar for rim (optional)
- simple syrup or brown sugar optional, for sweeter rim or drink
- ice cubes
Instructions
- Chill a lowball glass. Rim: lightly coat the rim with simple syrup, then dip in cinnamon sugar (optional).
- Fill the glass halfway with ice cubes.
- In a shaker or mixing glass, combine RumChata, vodka, and coffee liqueur; shake or stir briefly to chill.
- Pour over the ice, then slowly add the heavy cream to create a layered look. Stir gently to blend, if desired.
Notes
Heavy cream gives a richer, dessert‑like sip; half and half is lighter. Add a dash of cinnamon on top or a shot of espresso for extra coffee punch. Serve very cold.
