This is a drink that we tried in Trinidad on Monday, March 13. The location
was quite magical, a patio shaded by vines. There was a man playing the bongos
and several European tourists sitting around him.

Canchanchara
Lemon juice, 1/2 oz.
Aguardiente 1 1/2 oz.
Honey, 1 little spoonful

Rompopo (Honduran Eggnog)
1 lt. milk
12 egg yolks
1/4 cup sugar
12 oz. cinnamon sticks
2 cloves
2 peppercorns
1 cup strong white liquor (aguardiente or rum)
A pinch of nutmeg
In a big pot, boil milk together with sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves. In a
bowl, separate yolks and whites, and beat the yolks until they change color.
Cook milk and yolks at medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture
loses its egg flavor. Let it cool and add the liquor. Keep eggnog in a
sterilized glass bottle and refrigerate. Do not add ice when serving eggnog.
It is a creamy sweet beverage, perfect for a cool evening.
