RumChata
RumChata is a cream liqueur manufactured in Wisconsin. The recipe includes rum, dairy cream, cinnamon, vanilla, sugar, and other flavorings. The drink has been manufactured in Pewaukee, Wisconsin, since 2009. Its name is a portmanteau of rum and horchata; the liqueur is designed to taste like a mixture of the two.[1] It contains 13.75% or 15% alcohol by volume,[2] depending on where it is marketed.
