For that have ever lived in or visited California it is apparently clear that there is a huge Hispanic / Latin presence and influence. With those influences come some of the most amazing dishes, desserts and drinks you could think of. Although today is National Rice Pudding Day, for some reason, I couldn’t force myself to put up just a Rice Pudding recipe. Instead we opted to give you a Latin influence and introduce you to the wonderful world of Horchata.
Horchata, is the name for several kinds of beverages made from ground almonds, sesame seeds, rice, barley or tigernuts. In the United States it is commonly found in Mexican restaurants and stores and usually is made of rice.
One of our favorite kinds of drinks is called The Rice Rocket, and it is 2 parts Horchata, 1 part coconut flavored rum, a dash of Goldschlager served over ice.

This Non-alcoholic recipe is simple, great tasting and lasts in the fridge for a few days (No need to worry about it going sour, its usually consumed well before it's time comes.)
Enjoy!
