RumChata Iced Coffee

This RumChata Iced Coffee is creamy, refreshing, and comes together in just minutes using chilled coffee, RumChata, and ice.

My hubby and I both work from home, so every once in awhile we like to swap our afternoon coffee for something a little more fun. This RumChata Iced Coffee is creamy, smooth, and comes together in under 5 minutes using simple ingredients we usually already have at home. It's the perfect boozy coffee drink when you want a coffee-shop-style drink without leaving the house! If you're a RumChata fan, you also need to try my Simple RumChata Hot Chocolate!

What Is RumChata?

If you've never tried RumChata before, it's a creamy cinnamon vanilla liqueur that tastes amazing mixed into coffee drinks. It has a sweet, smooth flavor inspired by horchata and works perfectly in both hot and iced coffee recipes!

Ingredient Notes

See printable recipe card at the bottom of the post for exact ingredient amounts and directions.

• RumChata: A creamy cinnamon vanilla liqueur that gives this coffee cocktail its smooth, sweet flavor.
• Coffee: Cold brew or strong brewed coffee both work great. If using freshly brewed coffee, let it cool to room temperature before pouring over ice so the drink doesn't get watered down.
• Ice: Keeps the drink cold and refreshing without needing to wait for hot coffee to cool down.
• Garnishes: Whipped cream, cinnamon, caramel drizzle, chocolate syrup, or sprinkles make this boozy iced coffee even more fun to serve!

Variations & Substitutions

• Use hot coffee instead of iced for an easy RumChata coffee drink.
• Swap in cold brew for an extra smooth flavor.
• Blend with ice for a frozen drink similar to my Baileys Mocha Frappuccino.
• Add Kahlua or vanilla vodka for a stronger cocktail.
• Top with whipped cream, caramel drizzle, or cinnamon for extra flavor.
• This easy drink tastes similar to a homemade RumChata iced latte from your favorite coffee shop.

How to Make a RumChata Iced Coffee

Step 1. Fill a glass or coffee mug with ice.

Step 2. Pour the chilled coffee over the ice.

Step 3. Stir in the RumChata until combined.

Step 4. Top with whipped cream, cinnamon, or desired toppings and serve immediately.

A Few Easy Tips

• Use chilled coffee so the ice doesn't melt too quickly.
• Strong coffee gives the best flavor in this drink.
• Freeze leftover coffee into ice cubes for an even stronger coffee flavor without watering down the drink.

Storage

• This RumChata coffee drink is best served immediately so the ice doesn't water down the drink.
• If making a larger batch to share, combine the coffee and RumChata in a pitcher and store in the refrigerator up to 3 days. Serve over ice when ready to enjoy.
