Rumchata Malibu Lime and Soda Ingredients
- Ice: This will be used to chill the drink and keep it cold.
- Rumchata: This creamy liqueur is the star of the show, providing a smooth and sweet base for the cocktail.
- Malibu Rum: This coconut-flavored rum adds a tropical twist to the drink.
- Lime Cordial: I use Rose’s lime juice but you could also use any sweetened lime juice brand, NOT fresh lime juice.
- Club Soda: This adds a refreshing fizz to the drink and helps balance out the sweetness. If you don’t have club soda, you can use seltzer or lemon lime soda.
- Lime Slice: A lime slice makes for a simple and classic garnish for this cocktail.
How to Make a Chata Colada
Begin by filling a glass with ice – the more, the better to keep your drink cool on those hot summer days!
Pour in 1½ ounces each of RumChata and Malibu Coconut Rum into a cocktail shaker with some ice. Add in Rose’s lime juice and shake until combined and chilled.
Strain into a glass and top it off with 4 ounces of club soda.
Give everything a gentle stir to mix all those tropical flavors together. Add a lime slice on the rim for garnish and enjoy.
Variations and Helpful Tips
- For a traditional piña colada flavor, add pineapple juice for a Rumchata Colada.
- Can skip the lime juice and use equal parts of RumChata Limón and whipped vodka then top with club soda.
- Add a graham cracker dust crust along the rim to enhance the key lime pie taste.
- Do not substitute Rumchata for Bailey’s Irish Cream or sweetened lime juice with fresh lime juice. The result will be a curdled drink as fresh lime juice and Bailey’s tend to curdle when mixed with Rumchata.
