What is a Rumchata and Cream Soda?
RumChata and cream soda is a super easy to make two ingredient highball cocktail. It’s sort of tastes like the foam off the top of a root beer float. It is really creamy with a little fizz and it has a smooth cinnamon spice mixed with vanilla.
RumChata is a sweet and creamy cinnamon flavored liqueur. It is made with cinnamon, cream, rum and sugar. Rumchata based cocktails, often times are sweeter dessert drinks.

When to Make This Drink:
This drink is particularly versatile and can be served up at occasions including:
- Casual get togethers
- Winter celebrations
- After dinner drinks
- Girls or guys night out
Variations:
Seeing as how there are only two ingredients in this drink, there aren’t a lot of ways to vary it. However, here are a few things to try:
- Change up the ratios. We like to do a two to one ratio cream soda to RumChata. However, if you want to crank the liquor content up a little you can increase the RumChata or if you want to crank it down you can decrease the RumChata.
- Add a garnish. Crank up the cinnamon flavor with a cinnamon stick in your glass. Or try a dollop of whipped cream to really capitalize on the creamy sweetness.
- Change up the cream soda. Use caffeine free or zero sugar cream soda if you have some dietary restrictions.
- Make a cinnamon roll. Add a dash of Fireball whiskey to make a cinnamon roll cocktail.
