# **Rompope: A Delightful Mexican Milk-Based Beverage**
Rompope is a traditional Mexican alcoholic beverage made with milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and various liquors, typically rum and brandy. It is a popular holiday drink, often served during Christmas and other special occasions. The combination of milk, eggs, and spices gives it a creamy and rich texture, while the addition of liquors adds a boozy kick. This article presents three variations of rompope: the classic recipe, a chocolate-infused version, and a coffee-flavored option. Each recipe includes detailed instructions and helpful tips to ensure a successful outcome.
ROMPOPE (MEXICAN EGGNOG)
A basic recipe for Rompope includes milk, egg yolks, sugar, cinnamon, baking soda, and some sort of alcohol. The different flavorings are nutmeg, vanilla, almonds, pecans, orange blossom water, clove, pine nuts and even pistachios. I hope you enjoy this delicious recipe.

Steps:
- Mix milk, cinnamon, cloves, sugar, nutmeg and the pinch of baking soda in a saucepan and stir. Place saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Then turn the heat to low and simmer for about 8-10 minutes, allowing the milk to absorb the cinnamon and cloves' flavors.
- Turn off the heat and remove saucepan from stove to cool.
- While the milk is cooling, beat the egg yolks until they are a pale yellow. You can use your mixer if you want for this step.
- Slowly pour the egg yolk mix into the already cooled milk and stir. Once it is completely incorporated, place saucepan back on the stove and turn the heat on to medium-high, stirring frequently. Cook the mixture, stirring frequently to avoid curdling, for about 5-7 minutes, or until the mixture starts to become thick.
- Remove from heat and pass through a sieve to remove cinnamon sticks and cloves. Add rum or brandy, and mix well. Pour into another container with a lid and let it cool for a couple of hours and refrigerate. The Rompope will taste best if you let the flavors combine, by storing it in the fridge for 2 weeks. But you can use it right away.

ROMPOPE (MEXICAN MILK, EGG, SPICE, AND LIQUOR PUNCH)
Rompope is served chilled, often over ice, but it can be served warm, which is how I prefer it when cold weather sets in. Either way, it's rich, velvety, fragrant, and certainly full of cheer.
