Coconut Horchata
Coconut Horchata
Mazatlán coconut horchata is a refreshing and delicious beverage originating from Mazatlán, a coastal city in the state of Sinaloa, Mexico. This drink combines two main ingredients: coconut milk and horchata. Coconut milk is obtained by squeezing grated coconut pulp and mixing it with hot water. This creamy and slightly sweet liquid is very popular in Mexican cuisine and is used in a variety of dishes and drinks.
Horchata water arrived in Mexico thanks to the Spaniards after the Conquest. The ingredients for its preparation are very similar, but instead of chufas, soaked rice grains are used, and lemon is not added. Cinnamon and vanilla are typically used to flavor the drink.
Mazatlán's coconut horchata combines the best of both worlds. To prepare it, coconut milk is mixed with horchata in appropriate proportions to achieve a perfect balance between the creaminess of coconut milk and the spiced flavor of horchata.
This drink is served cold and can be enjoyed at any time of the day, especially during the hot summer days in Mazatlán. It’s refreshing and exotic taste makes it a popular choice among locals and tourists visiting the city.
