Ingredients

Homemade Horchata

  • 1 cup White Rice
  • 2 cups Hot Water
  • 2 Cinnamon Sticks
  • 2 cups Cool Water
  • 1 12 oz. Can Evaporate Milk
  • 1/3 cup Condensed Milk
  • 1 tsp Vanilla

Smoked Horchata Egg Nog Cocktail

  • 1 oz. Reposado Tequila
  • 1/2 oz. Mezcal
  • 2 oz. Horchata
  • 2 oz. Egg Nog
  • 1/2 oz. Cinnamon Simple Syrup optional
  • Fresh Grated Nutmeg and Cinnamon Sticks for garnish

Instructions

Homemade Horchata

  • In a heat-proof bowl, add the rice and pour the hot water over the top. Add the 2 cinnamon sticks and cover. Let it rest for at least 4 hours or best results overnight (in the fridge).
  • When ready to make the horchata, remove and discard the cinnamon sticks from the bowl of rice. Pour the rice and the liquid into a blender.
  • Add the additional 2 cups of cool water and blend well until you can get the rice as fine as possible.
  • Pour the liquid through a fine strainer into a pitcher or bowl. Save the liquid but discard the rice bits and remove them entirely from the blender pitcher.
  • Add the rice water back into the blender along with the evaporated milk, condensed milk, and vanilla. Blend until mixed and set aside. You will have about 4 cups of horchata to make cocktails with (or drink on its own).

Smoked Horchata Eggnog Cocktail

  • Add ice to a cocktail shaker.
  • Add in the reposado and the mezcal. Then add in the horchata, eggnog, and the cinnamon syrup.
  • Shake well until chilled and mixed then strain and pour into your favorite rocks glass.
  • Grate fresh nutmeg over the top and garnish with a cinnamon stick.

Notes

Keep things simple and buy store-bought horchata for this recipe. You can also skip the cinnamon simple syrup and add a little more cinnamon to the cocktail before shaking instead.
