Everything about Rompope totally explained
Ingredients
Rompope is an
eggnog-like drink made with
eggs,
milk, and
vanilla flavouring. The
egg yolks impart a yellow hue to the emulsified beverage. It is a traditional drink in
Mexico, where it was originally made in the
convents of the city of
Puebla. The word "rompope" is a derivation of the word
rompon, which is used to describe the Spanish version of eggnog that came to Mexico. The Spanish version utilizes
rum as its main ingredient.
History
Rompope is one of many versions of the varied combinations of egg yolk, milk, sugar, and alcoholic spirits that are traditionally used for many celebrations in
Europe and the
Americas.
Dutch advocaat is one that's known throughout the world. English eggnog, a descendent of the milk and
sherry mix called "
posset," and American eggnog, made with either rum or
bourbon, are both similar to rompope. Spain was the original source of the recipes for egg
punch that eventually arrived in the Spanish colonies. There are different close relatives of rompope in several countries (where local spirited drinks are incorporated into the mix), but it was Mexico in which rompope became a widely known beverage. Mexican rompope is mainstream, and there are several popular commercial brands of this drink widely available in international markets. Mexican rompope is typical of recipes that came out of the convents during Colonial period, particularly from Puebla de Los Angeles. The original Mexican rompope beverage was created in Puebla's Convento de Santa Clara in the 17th century.
Obtaining Rompope
Rompope is made commercially throughout Mexico. Although trade brands are mainstream, many locals prefer to make it at home. Several ingredients are sometimes added to the drink, including
pecans,
almonds,
walnuts,
cinnamon,
pine nuts,

strawberry and other local ingredients. Besides the holidays, locals drink rompope on family celebrations, and in addition to being a beverage, rompope is included in
desserts. Commercial rompope is available in the
United States, particularly in the states bordering Mexico.
