Method
Prepare Glass
Rim the glass
Rub the lemon wedge around the rim of a chilled 12-oz rocks or margarita glass to moisten. Dip the rim into the superfine sugar on a small plate and rotate to coat evenly. Set glass aside in the refrigerator or on a tray with ice to keep chilled while you mix the cocktail.
Mix Cocktail
Add 2 oz RumChata, 1 oz vodka, 4 oz fresh lemonade, 0.5 oz fresh lemon juice, and 0.25 oz simple syrup into a cocktail shaker.
Fill the shaker with about 1 cup of ice. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the shaker is very cold and slightly frosted. The shaking chills and dilutes the dairy-forward RumChata gently so the texture is smooth.
Strain the mixture into the prepared sugar-rimmed glass over fresh ice (optional) or serve up without ice if preferred. Use a fine strainer if you want a slightly smoother texture.
Finish & Serve
Suggested serving note: This cocktail balances RumChata's creamy, cinnamon-vanilla notes with bright lemonade and vodka for structure. Adjust simple syrup (+/− 0.25 oz) to taste if the lemonade is tart.
