Romp or Romper (
n.) /rɔmp/ or /rɑmp/, from French /ramper/
: A strong and
thick cocktail of gin or vodka, sometimes rum, or a blend of two of these, made palatable with dark fruit purées and juices such as
blueberry, açaí, or black cherry, along with
pineapple and sometimes banana. The recipe is believed to have originated among teenagers in early 21st century America and is traditionally made in a blender by the pitcher using cheap, typically-stolen liquor whose sharp taste is masked by sweet fruits. The specific use of blueberry and açaí is a post-millenial innovation and regionally popular in Northern
California. The name may derive from a short-lived revival of the "sleep-romper" (or simply romper) in young women's fashion in the post-recession decade or ultimately from the common origin of both of these names which refers to boisterous play and revelry.
