Flavor Vibe
Think of it as the lovechild of a Mexican horchata cart and a specialty coffee bar. Creamy cinnamon-spiced oatmilk, cold-shaken espresso, and just enough sweetness to make you question why you ever settled for plain lattes.
Ingredients (1 serving)
-
2 shots (2 oz) espresso, freshly brewed
-
1/2 cup oatmilk (unsweetened preferred)
-
1/4 cup horchata concentrate (or homemade: blend rice milk, cinnamon, vanilla, sugar, tiny pinch of nutmeg)
-
1 tsp maple syrup or agave (optional, depending on sweetness level)
-
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon (plus extra for garnish)
-
Ice (a generous handful)
Method
-
Make the horchata base: In a shaker or jar, combine oatmilk, horchata concentrate, maple/agave, and ground cinnamon. Stir or shake lightly.
-
Pull the shots: Brew 2 shots of espresso and let them cool for 1–2 minutes so they don’t melt all your ice instantly.
-
Shake it up: In a cocktail shaker (or mason jar with lid), add ice, espresso, and horchata oatmilk mixture. Shake vigorously for 15–20 seconds until chilled and frothy.
Serve: Strain into a tall glass over fresh ice.
