Horchata Type - (BRW)

Bar Mixology

Taste is personal, so start low and build -- every amount here is a starting point. Brewch Horchata excels in Latin-inspired cocktail applications where its creamy cinnamon character creates instant category differentiation. White rum and spiced rum are the ideal base spirits -- the vanilla and cinnamon of the concentrate echo the warm spice notes of aged rum and create a naturally balanced horchata cocktail at 2-7 drops per serving. For a dessert-style expression, shake with rum and a float of cream for a traditional horchata rum drink elevated to craft cocktail quality.

For mocktails, the creamy profile pairs beautifully with sparkling water and a touch of citrus for a light, refreshing zero-proof horchata spritzer. It also makes an exceptional coffee syrup -- the cinnamon and vanilla notes integrate seamlessly into lattes and cold brew applications.

• Horchata rum cocktail: 2-7 drops per serving -- build or shake with rum
• Coffee latte syrup: 1 part Brewch to 50 parts simple syrup
• Sparkling horchata mocktail: 4-6 drops with sparkling water and a lime squeeze
• Simple syrup: 1 part Brewch to 50 parts syrup for bar and cafe service

Always start at 2 drops. The rich creamy profile can overwhelm light spirit bases at higher doses.

Horchata Rum Cocktail: You'll need 1.5 oz white rum, 0.5 oz coconut cream or heavy cream, 0.5 oz simple syrup, 3 drops Brewch Horchata Extract, up to 5 to taste, ice, and cinnamon stick and cinnamon dust for garnish. In a shaker with ice, combine rum, cream, simple syrup, and Brewch Horchata Extract. Shake hard for 12-15 seconds. Strain over fresh ice in a rocks glass. Dust lightly with cinnamon. Garnish with a cinnamon stick.

Sparkling Horchata Agua Fresca Mocktail: You'll need 7 drops Brewch Horchata Extract, up to 12 to taste, 8 oz sparkling water or cream soda, 0.25 oz simple syrup, ice, and cinnamon stick for garnish. In a glass over ice, combine Brewch Horchata Extract and simple syrup. Stir briefly. Top with sparkling water or cream soda. Stir once gently. Garnish with a cinnamon stick.

Sparkling Water and Seltzer

Taste is personal, so start low and build -- every amount here is a starting point. Brewch Horchata creates a uniquely satisfying sparkling water experience -- the creamy cinnamon character translates surprisingly well to carbonated applications, delivering a lighter, effervescent take on the classic agua fresca. Start at 2 drops per 100ml and adjust to taste. Add after carbonation and swirl gently to preserve both effervescence and the aromatic cinnamon top note.

For the Sparkling Horchata Seltzer, use Horchata as a standalone flavor -- no accent flavor is needed. The profile is complete and balanced on its own, and additional flavors risk disrupting the delicate rice-milk and cinnamon harmony. A single serving glass with 2-5 drops over ice is an exceptional non-alcoholic drink in its own right.

Sparkling Horchata Seltzer: You'll need 8 drops Brewch Horchata Extract, up to 11 to taste, 8 oz (240 ml) cold sparkling water or club soda, and ice (optional); cinnamon stick for garnish. Add 8 drops of Brewch Horchata Extract directly to a glass. Pour cold sparkling water over the drops. Stir once gently to integrate. Add ice if desired. Garnish with cinnamon stick. Serve immediately.

• Subtle accent: 2 drops per 100ml -- start here
• Full profile: 3-5 drops per 100ml for the complete Sparkling Horchata Seltzer
• Hard seltzer batch: 20-50 drops per liter -- standalone, no accent needed
• Smoothies and protein shakes: 5-12 drops per 8 oz -- excellent with vanilla protein
• Coffee application: 5-12 drops per 8 oz iced coffee or cold brew

Sugar-free, keto-friendly, and clean-label -- a distinctive and crowd-pleasing seltzer option for Latin-inspired beverage programs.

Homebrew Applications

Taste is personal, so start low and build -- every amount here is a starting point. Brewch Horchata adds a warm, creamy cinnamon depth to cream and dessert-style homebrew applications that is unexpected and highly distinctive. Add post-fermentation to preserve the delicate cinnamon, vanilla, and rice-milk notes. For a 5-gallon batch, start with 570 drops (about 19 ml) and taste before packaging.

It shines in cream sodas, dark lagers, and milk stouts where the horchata profile adds an authentic Latin warmth. Hard ciders take on a spiced dessert dimension with 570-940 drops per batch (about 19-31.3 ml). For kombucha secondary fermentation (2F), add 110-180 drops per gallon (about 3.7-6 ml) for a creamy cinnamon profile that stands apart from fruit-forward options.

• Cream soda or dark lager: 570-940 drops per 5-gallon batch (about 19-31.3 ml)
• Milk stout or sweet porter: 570-940 drops per 5-gallon batch (about 19-31.3 ml)
• Hard cider: 570-940 drops per 5-gallon batch (about 19-31.3 ml) -- spiced dessert character
• Kombucha 2F: 110-180 drops per gallon (about 3.7-6 ml) -- probiotic-safe

Add during transfer to secondary or directly to keg or bottling bucket. The water-soluble formula disperses evenly without additional processing.
