A Lumumba (Død tante,

with coffee.

The drink consists of cocoa, sometimes accompanied by cream, and a shot of rum. Some alternatives replace the rum with amaretto or brandy: a popular version in Spain during La Movida Madrileña used the local chocolate milk drinks Cacaolat or Okey with a shot of Spanish brandy, such as Fundador or Soberano.

Depending on whether the hot or cold cocoa is used, the result is a Hot Lumumba or a Cold Lumumba.

The great unresolved question about the drink is whether its name represents a genuine commemoration or if it derives from a veiled form of racism.[1]
