A Belizean Christmas is not complete without the traditional rumpopo drink. Similar to the USA’s eggnog, this creamy rum drink is a favorite among family and friends during this festive time of year. Every Belizean knows that this festive drink is accompanied by a slice of the traditional Black Dried-fruit Cake. If you have always wondered how to make this concoction, here is a step by step guide for making this Christmas recipe!

1 ½ cup sugar

¼ teaspoon nutmeg
