Mexican Eggnog Rum Drink
RompopeRompope is similar to eggnog and was introduced from Spain during the colonial era in Puebla. It is served for parties and as an after-dinner drink, but is especially popular around Christmas time. Rompope is quite easy to make, and it's well worth the short amount of time it takes to make at home.Rompope is available commercially bottled and may be sold in some liquor stores, but it is not easy to find in the United States. Serve rompope in small glasses after dinner, or use it as a delicious sauce for fruit or cake desserts.
