How To Serve

The glass rims are coated with caramel sauce and chopped pecans for decoration and extra flavor. For more decadence, add a spoonful of whipped cream to each glass. So perfect for any kind of fall or holiday party.

Only 4 ingredients are needed to make this martini: Rumchata, Creme de Cacao, bourbon, and half-and-half.

Even though this is a bourbon cocktail, it has a totally smooth taste and I recommend it for people who don’t typically like bourbon drinks. I like using Maker’s Mark, but use whichever bourbon is your favorite. There are so many different ones to try these days.

This recipe makes 3 drinks but can easily be scaled down or up. You will need a cocktail shaker.

Recipe Tip

Rumchata is also really good in coffee. I sometimes use it instead of half-and-half.
