Smoky, spicy and subtly sweet — this cocktail hits all the right notes.
Cruzan Velvet Cinn Horchata with Rum is a creamy liqueur that tastes like horchata — a popular Latin American drink usually made with rice milk and cinnamon — with an alcoholic kick. The mezcal is smoky and slightly sweetened from ripe fruits, while the tequila is golden, spicy and carries rich notes of caramel and vanilla.
This drink represents multiple distinct and traditional flavors of Latin America, and combines them for an unusual, modern cocktail you’ll want to sip all day.
