Strawberries with Mexican Eggnog
Fresas con RompopFresh strawberries were abundant in San Miguel de Allende during a winter visit several years ago, since Irapuato, the nearby strawberry capital of Mexico, was in full harvest. We enjoyed ripe, red berries topped with rompope, Mexico's well-known eggnog rum drink that's sold in liquor stores. It's also very easy to make your own. Rompope has a creamy texture like a liquidy vanilla custard.
