Alright, alright, let’s gab about them…what’s it called… peppermint rumchata recipes. Yeah, that fancy stuff. You know, the kind them city folks drink.
First off, what the heck is this “RumChata”? Sounds like somethin’ my old mule woulda coughed up after eatin’ too much hay. But they say it’s got rum in it, and cream, and… flavors. Flavors, huh? Like when you mix up a bunch of leftovers and hope for the best, I reckon.
So, this peppermint bark kind… sounds kinda like them fancy candies they sell at the store durin’ Christmas time. I tell ya, them city folks sure got a sweet tooth. But, if you’re gonna mix it with booze, well, that’s a different story, ain’t it?
- Recipe Number One: The “Warm Yer Belly” Special
This one’s easy as pie, even I can do it, and that’s sayin’ somethin’. You take a mug, a big one, mind you, and pour in some of that peppermint rumchata stuff. Not too much, now, we ain’t tryin’ to get drunk and fall in the pig slop. Then, you heat up some milk. Real milk, not that powdered stuff. Heat it up ’til it’s steamin’, but not boilin’ over like a mad hen. Pour that hot milk right in the mug with the rumchata. Stir it up good with a spoon. Now, if you’re feelin’ fancy, you can sprinkle a little bit of cinnamon on top. Or, if you’re like me, you just drink it as it is. Keeps you warm on a cold night, that’s for sure.
- Recipe Number Two: The “Iced Down Fancy Pants” Drink
Okay, this one’s for them folks who like their drinks cold, even when it’s snowin’ outside. Again, get yourself a glass. A tall one this time. Fill it up with ice. Lots of ice. Then, pour in some of that rumchata stuff. Not too much, remember what I said about the pig slop. Now, this is where it gets fancy. You gotta make some coffee. Strong coffee. The kind that’ll wake you up faster than a rooster crowin’ at dawn. Let the coffee cool down a bit, then pour it into the glass with the rumchata and ice. Stir it up good. If you got some whipped cream, squirt a little on top. Makes it look all pretty. And if you wanna be real extra, sprinkle some crushed peppermint candies on top of the whipped cream. There you go, a fancy pants drink for a hot day, or a cold day if you’re stubborn like my old Bessie mule.
Now, they say you can do all sorts of things with this rumchata stuff. Mix it with cocoa, layer it in shots, put some pep in other recipes… sounds like a lot of fuss to me. But hey, if you got the time and the energy, go for it. Me? I’m happy with my warm milk and rumchata on a cold night. Or maybe that iced coffee one if it’s hotter than a furnace in July.
Important Note! Don’t go drinkin’ too much of this stuff, ya hear? It’s got alcohol in it, and that stuff can make you do silly things. Like try to dance with the chickens or sing opera to the cows. Not a pretty sight, let me tell ya. Drink it slow, and enjoy it, but don’t overdo it. And for goodness sake, don’t go givin’ it to the kids! Stick to milk for them, or maybe some apple cider if they’re bein’ good.
So there you have it, a couple of recipes for that peppermint rumchata, from someone who don’t know nothin’ about fancy city drinks. But I reckon they taste alright, and that’s all that matters. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go check on them chickens. And maybe, just maybe, I’ll have a little bit of that warm rumchata to keep me company. Don’t tell nobody, though. It’ll be our little secret.
This whole peppermint bark rumchata thing is for folks who like somethin’ sweet and creamy with a bit of a kick. Perfect for when you got company over, or just want somethin’ special for yourself on a cold night. They say this peppermint kind is only around for a short time durin’ the holidays, so if you like it, stock up. Me? I’ll stick to my regular stuff most of the time. Too much fuss with all these fancy flavors, if you ask me.
And that’s all I gotta say about that. Now go on and try them recipes, and let me know what you think. Or don’t. I ain’t losin’ no sleep over it.
