Drink of the Week: RumChata Iced Coffee

The season for iced coffee has nearly expired, but as long as temperatures remain above freezing and Peppermint Mochas have yet to replace Pumpkin Spice Lattes, it’s not too late to play with this refreshing beverage.

Taste: RumChata is a delicious — if indulgent — dairy liqueur that can be utilized in more than White Russians. Cold brew your favorite coffee and add sugar and RumChata to taste. Along with functioning as a creamer, the RumChata adds hints of cinnamon, vanilla, and nut flavor to coffee.

Advice: If you want to give your coffee a bit more kick, add caramel vodka; blend for a homemade caramel frappuccino. RumChata can be enjoyed in hot coffee as well if you’d like a less conventional alternative to Bailey’s Irish Cream.
