Mexican Spiked Egg Nog... Rompope

Hot Mexican eggnog (rompope, pronounced rom-po'-pay)) is a delightful party hit! You flavor traditional Christmas eggnog with orange and cinnamon, spike it with brandy, and serve it hot. A crockpot will keep the rich concoction warm for the duration. Whip up this festive adult beverage in a flash for a memorable holiday fiesta.

Makes 6-8 servings.

Things You'll Need:

• crockpot
• 1 quart eggnog
• 1 1/2 teaspoons finely grated, fresh orange peel
• 1 1/2 cups brandy (cognac)
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• additional ground cinnamon
• optional: cinnamon stick garnish

1. Step 1

   At least an hour ahead of time, plug in the crockpot, and turn it to high. Pour in the quart of eggnog. Stir.

2. Step 2

   Finely grate the peel of a fresh orange. Add 1 1/2 teaspoons of it to the eggnog. Stir.

3. Step 3

   Measure out 1 1/2 cups of brandy (cognac). Pour it into the eggnog. Stir. Add 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Stir.

4. Step 4

   Put the lid on the crockpot. Turn the heat to low. Stir occasionally. Once the Mexican eggnog is hot, turn the crockpot to "keep warm."

5. Step 5

   If you'd like, you can whip up a little froth in the drink by quickly swishing a wire whisk in the liquid before serving. Scoop it with a ladle into cups or glasses. Sprinkle with cinnamon, and add a cinnamon stick as garnish, if desired.

Title: Over 22,000 people killed in Mexican drug violence since 2006

At least 22,700 people have been killed since President Felipe Calderon took office and deployed troops and Mexican federal police against drug gangs along the U.S. border and in a number of interior cities and states. Estimates until now, compiled by Mexican media and based on crime reports from individual states, had put the death toll at around 18,000. The higher estimates, delivered to senators in a Monday evening meeting, were first reported Tuesday by the Mexico City newspaper Reforma and confirmed by the Associated Press. Gangland violence killed more than 9,600 people nationwide in 2009 and at least 3,300 so far this year, the report said. Ciudad Juarez, bordering El Paso, has by far been the most violent area for drug violence, with more than 4,300 killed in the city of fewer than 1.5 million in the past two years. Other particularly violent states include Sinaloa, Michoacan, Guerrero and Durango, where criminal syndicates are battling for control of smuggling routes and market access to U.S. and Mexican consumers of illegal drugs. Violence also has spiked this year in Morelos state, just south of Mexico City and in the northeastern states of Nuevo Leon and Tamaulipas, which border South Texas, amid bloody breaks between former underworld allies.
