Horchata Margarita
Description
This cocktail starts with the preparation of cinnamon-infused simple syrup, simmering water, sugar, cinnamon sticks, and cloves to create a spiced base. After steeping and straining, this syrup is blended with vanilla rice milk to form the horchata component, lending a creamy and sweet profile with subtle spice notes.
To assemble the Margarita, the horchata is combined in a shaker with reposado tequila and almond liqueur, then shaken over ice to chill and dilute slightly. The glass rim is coated with raw sugar to add crunch and sweetness with each sip. Ground cinnamon garnish emphasizes the drink’s warm spice character.
The recommended tequila, Exotico Reposado, complements the horchata’s flavors with notes of vanilla, dry fruit, oak, caramel, and cinnamon, enhancing the cocktail’s complexity and cohesion.
