A Lumumba (Død tante, German: Tote Tante ) is a long drink. The origin of its name is unknown; critics claim the beverage containing a shot of rum is named after Congolese politician Patrice Lumumba (who was shot on 17 January 1961), although there are no sources for this. The term Død tante/Tote Tante is used on the western coast of Denmark, Northern Germany and the Netherlands, where the drink is the counterpart to the Pharisäer 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.
