Rompope is the Mexican version of egg nog and is traditionally spiked with Rum. According to Karen Hursh Graber the drink started at the Convent of Santa Clara in Puebla, Mexico back in the colonial period. Today Rompope is produced commercially and widely available in Mexico and the U.S. As always the best product is the one you make at home.

Another Rompope favorite is the gelatin dessert flavored with the nog called Gelatina de Rompope.
