There’s something magical about Friendsgiving. It brings friends and loved ones together to eat nostalgic food and delicious drinks. And what better time to enjoy the iconic flavors of RumChata?
Made from Caribbean rum, Midwestern dairy cream, and Mexican spices, this cream liqueur is the perfect centerpiece for the holiday season. Whether it’s blended with an after-dinner coffee or mixed with a tasty soda to get the party started, there’s no wrong way to enjoy RumChata. So this holiday season, open up your home for a party and crack open a bottle of RumChata. You’ll give your friends an opportunity they might not otherwise have to celebrate Thanksgiving or other holidays.

Brian was bitten by the travel bug as a young boy. He often accompanied his grandfather, a minister, when he was on the road.
As he got older, the obsession only became stronger. In his 20s, he began to travel internationally after saving up enough money. He understood the privilege and didn’t take any of it for granted. Some of us view travel as an escape, but it was different for Brian. “[I] found it to be a source of inspiration, motivation, and encouragement,” he says.
We caught up with Brian between flights for a chat and to sip on one of his favorite drinks — RumChata Dirty Soda.
