Special Equipment Needed To Make This Recipe
- Shaker - The easiest way to mix your drink is with a shaker. They are easy to find in store or online, but if you are in a bind, you can use two glasses of the same size as a makeshift shaker. If you’re going to be making drinks often though, I recommend investing in a good shaker.
- Jigger - Using a jigger is the easiest way to measure your liquids. They’re easy to find and are fun to use. They really elevate your mixologist skills.
Special Ingredients You Need For This Recipe
- Eggnog - You may not be able to find eggnog in the store you’re around, but it should be available around the holidays. It might be available at major retailers year-round though.
- Rumchata - You should be able to find rumchata any time of the year. Head to your local liquor store to find this five times distilled caribbean rum. The rumchata bottle is hard to miss.

You can also switch up the garnish. Instead of just using nutmeg, garnish with cinnamon vanilla sugar or natural cinnamon for a delicious twist. Or even add some chocolate shavings. Lots goes well with rumchata.
You could serve this over ice if you’d like. It may affect the flavours, but if you don’t mind the taste and like your rumchata cold, try it that way.
