If you are an uncultured swine who hates eggnog, this post is not for you.
Had a small cup of rompope, a Mexican eggnog that we found in El Tuito, Jalisco back in February. Twice the egg yolk, twice the booze, and three times the vanilla of the homemade eggnog recipe I have. Absolutely delicious and decadent.
Oh yeah, and now I have the recipe. Good thing, we only brought back one liter and it's nearly gone.
In over 20 years of travelling to Mexico annually, even some very out of the way places, I had never encountered this magical folk elixer until this year. WTF? Blinded by mezcal?
In any case, as near as we can recall, the bottle was about 7.50 USD, and it will certainly cost more to make at home with high quality dairy and a decent brandy.
