There’s no doubt that the Holidays are a great time of year to break out the RumChata. Show up to the party with a chilled bottle, and people will always be thrilled. Of course, this leave lots of opportunity to experiment with great Rumchata winter drinks.

RumChata, if you don’t know yet, is rum, cream, vanilla, cinnamon and sugar. It’s great to mix with warm drinks (coffee, cocoa and tea) and it makes for some killer cocktails with lots of spirits. Here’s one I made called a Candy Cane:

• 1 1/2 oz RumChata
• 1 1/2 oz white rum
• 3/4 oz of peppermint schnapps
• stir gently to combine
• carefully drizzle grenadine down edges of glass to resemble stripes
