Rum Chata
750ml, $32.99
Though modeled after horchata, a Mexican drink made with ground almonds, rice and cinnamon, this liqueur is made with rum and cream. It has an opaque, milky appearance, almondy notes and a spiced aroma. Thick, velvety and tongue-coating, this liqueur-like rum evokes eggnog and goes down easy. 90 Points, Wine Enthusiast
Many of us may not have heard of horchata before; it is a name given to an array of different refreshing Mexican drinks made up of white rice soaked in water, flavored with cinnamon, almonds, tiger nuts, or a little sugar. All the ingredients are usually ground up together in a blender until it has a semiliquid consistency. Eventually, the mixture is sieved to remove the solid granule, to leave a nice and smooth milky consistency. There are different variations of the recipe. Some people prefer it with milk and some people like to add flavors such as vanilla or coconut.
And some like it with alcohol! Try one of these fun Horchata inspired drinks to celebrate this National Horchata Day!
