Horchata is a classic rice drink enjoyed throughout South America, but there is more than one way to enjoy this refreshing beverage. Using a tropical coconut horchata base, we're turning the classic childhood drink into new sweet treats! 

Coconut Horchata is a remix of the classic, using brown rice for a nuttier flavor and coconut milk for a tropical twist. Make a big batch to enjoy alone, with friends or to make even more tasty treats like Coconut Horchata Cupcakes! These cupcakes are made with a coconut horchata batter and are topped with a coconut horchata buttercream for a light and fluffy cupcake that is irresistible.

Make too much? Enjoy it with a spoon instead of a straw. Coconut Horchata Ice Cream has all of the flavor of the original drink but its creamy, smooth consistency makes it perfect to enjoy in your morning coffee, between two cookies for a quick ice cream sandwich, in a cone… the list goes on.

Revamp the classic and try a tall, icy glass of Coconut Horchata, a fluffy cupcake, or a sundae full of luscious tropical flavor and enjoy the tradition with a twist!
