Scale

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Ice cubes (as needed)
- Optional garnishes: ground nutmeg, cinnamon sticks, cocoa powder
Instructions
- Chill your glasses in the fridge or freezer for about 10 minutes.
- In a shaker or large jar, combine 1 ½ cups Rumchata, 1 cup horchata mix, and 1 cup milk.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon.
- Add about 1 to 2 cups of ice cubes to the shaker or jar.

- Strain the cocktail into the chilled glasses using a strainer if desired.

Notes
Chill glasses before serving to keep the cocktail cool longer. Shake just enough to chill and combine ingredients without watering down. Taste before adding extra cinnamon or vanilla to avoid over-sweetening. For a dairy-free version, swap milk with almond, oat, or coconut milk and use a dairy-free horchata mix. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days; do not freeze.
