Ingredients

  • 4 cups full-fat canned coconut milk or whole milk: This adds a creamy richness.
  • 1 cup chilled brewed coffee or espresso: This gives that "dirty" flavor we're after.
  • 1 cup uncooked long-grain white rice: The base of our horchata.
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract: Brings warmth and depth to the drink.
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg: Adds a subtle spice note.
  • 2–8 ounces dark spiced rum or Kahlúa
  • 1/3 cup pure honey or authentic maple syrup: Sweetens naturally.
  • Cinnamon sugar blend
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt: Elevates the flavors.
  • 1 tablespoon finely grated orange zest: A splash of citrus brightness.
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon: For that classic horchata flavor, plus extra for garnish.
