What exactly is Peppermint Bark Rumchata?

Rumchata, in general, is a cream liqueur based on Rum. The name RumChata is a combination of the words Rum and Horchata.

The goal was to create a liqueur that combines these two tastes. It's somehow a bottle version of a Dirty Horchata.

The Peppermint Bark variation of the liqueur first hit the shelves in the winter of 2020. It was sold as part of a special holiday gift set to introduce the new liqueur variation to consumers.

These days, you can typically find this version of the liqueur on the shelves of liquor stores during the holiday season, and it comes with a themed bottle design. The red and white stripes strongly remind you of sweet candy cane.

Peppermint Bark itself actually is a sweet treat that's very popular in North America. It includes chocolate, peppermint extract, and crushed candy cane: A thin layer of chocolate, resembling tree bark, is sprinkled with candy cane pieces and flavored with peppermint extract.

In combination, it's a beautiful winter liqueur that's perfect for making some festive cocktails like the Peppermint Bark White Russian.
