Chocolate Horchata Drink with Bourbon and Cream

This delicious horchata drink combines some of your favorite flavors, AND it’s boozy! Warm, creamy, and perfect for cold weather.

Have you ever tried horchata? It’s a traditional Latin American or Spanish beverage made from ground almonds, tiger nuts, or rice.

I’ve heard it described as tasting like rice pudding, finely blended – sweet with a cinnamon flavor.

That’s a pretty good description. It’s really tasty.

It comes in many varieties, and you can combine it with delicious flavors to make a tasty alcoholic horchata drink for fall or winter, just like this one!
