Does anyone know if this is actually a real drink? My Spanish teacher mentioned something about it being an Argentinian drink, but I won't have the chance to ask her for a few weeks. I read somewhere that it is made with carmelized milk, but I haven't been able to find an exact recipe. Anyone have any more info on this?

Yes, it is! It's a new drink at Starbucks actually. I tried it...didn't like it

Edit: The drink I tried was the Dulche de Leche latte, not the alcoholic beverage haha

Yes, it's real. Milk and sugar at the most basic level; various drinks and other products are made from it.

Ah, I guess I was a little confused. I knew that Dulce de Leche was a real thing, but I thought it was just a flavoring. I've seen dulce de leche ice cream, and I've also seen the drink at Starbucks. I just didn't realize that Dulce de Leche itself is made from sugar and condensed milk.

Edit: So then, is the drink from the show simply carmelized sweetened condensed milk (i.e. dulce de leche) with bacardi mixed in?

The wikipedia article says nothing about a version served as a cocktail with Bacardi. Can anyone find any evidence that it is actually served that way anywhere?

You should try Dulce de Leche ice cream. When I did Guys and Dolls the director raved about it all throughout rehearsals, and I finally tried some on closing night. It was delicious.
