Rompope | Local Cream Liqueur From Puebla de Zaragoza, Mexico | TasteAtlas

Rompope

Latin American version of eggnog goes under the name rompope. The drink is based on a combination of rum or brandy, milk, sugar, and egg yolks, while the additions may include nuts and typically vanilla flavoring, nutmeg, or cinnamon. It is believed that the first version of rompope was created in Puebla by the Santa Clara nuns, sometime in the 1600s.


Following its origin, the drink has spread throughout Latin America, resulting in numerous regional versions. Rompope can be served lukewarm, heated, or on the rocks, and it is usually enjoyed all year round, traditionally on various special occasions.


It is also commonly used in desserts, as a fruit or ice cream topping.
