This low carb vodka chata is a delicious drink recipe similar to RumChata. It uses vodka and low carb ingredients for a tasty winter drink.
Recently while at “book club” at my sister’s house I had the pleasure of tasting RumChata. I had not ever heard of it before but boy was it tasty! It’s like a warm, spicy white Russian. Anyway I really liked it and when I got home I thought, “I can make something similar to that and make it low carb. RumChata ingredients are essentially rum, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and cream based on a traditional drink called a horchata. On RumChata’s website they say “Rum & Horchata had a love child and it’s delicious”. I agree.
There is not much to this as I’m not using rum or sugar. The main ingredients of this drink are vodka, almond milk, cream, cinnamon, fresh nutmeg, vanilla and stevia. Just add them to a blender or shaker and serve over ice. It’s nice. Even my hubby liked it and he’s not much of a creamy drink person.
Low Carb Vodka Chata (Similar to RumChata)
The amount of vodka that you use is up to you. I would advise using a middle shelf vodka however I would say that for most drinks. There are only 0.6 net carbs in this drink. I personally only have one…ok maybe two as it is a drink you like to sip and tastes like dessert. I hope you like this as much as I do and if you don’t care about carbs I recommend going out and buying some RumChata. It’s really good!

I’ll make one for you next time you are at my house!

I’m confused. Rum Chata has ZERO carbs and relatively the same amount of calories as your recipie. So why are you promoting yours as the better alternative to the original Rum Chata? 🤔
Denise
Hi,
I found the nutritional data on Rum Chata’s website. Here is the link.

Rum chats has 16 carbs per serving. It’s made with sugar. Hope that helps.

Just curious, why do you not use rum? Unflavored rum doesn’t have carbs. Is there a reason to use vodka instead if rum?
Denise
I just prefer vodka but of course you can use rum. Enjoy!
Lisa
Can you make this ahead and refrigerate it?
Denise
Hi Lisa,
I think if you don’t add the alcohol you could refrigerate it and then give a good shake or blend before you drink it. Hope that helps!

Forget ‘winter’! I’m having this poured over ice on the balcony in 30C! This surpassed my expectations. Beautiful after dinner on hot days. Thank you!
Denise

I’m so glad I found this, I’m responsible for 1 cocktail every Christmas, and since diagnosed with type 2 diabetes I’ve been going crazy trying to find something everyone can drink.
Question, do you think I can substitute Almond vanilla milk for Coconut vanilla? Or does the Almond add to the flavor?
Denise
The almond milk has very little taste in my opinion. I don’t think it will be a problem though it might have a bit of a coconut taste? It could even taste better! Good luck!

Hi Denise, was searching for a Turkey day drink to take to the fun run/turkey trot and googled and this came up!! Yay! Thx!! But I think I’ll make both, the rumchata version and this vodka version!! If you want to walk you are always welcome to join in on the turkey trot.
Happy Thanksgiving Denise and family!
Denise
Oh that’s so nice of you to ask. We have two Thanksgivings so I doubt there will be any trotting going on. More like waddling haha! Rum would be perfectly fine. I made this a long time ago and I didn’t realize that rum does have any carbs either so it would be fine. I’m not much of a rum drinker so I just made it into a vodka drink. Have a good turkey day!
