El Padrino's horchata is crafted using an authentic Mexican recipe that has been perfected over generations.
We start by soaking white rice and cinnamon sticks in water for several hours, allowing the flavors to
infuse and the rice to soften. The soaked rice is then blended until smooth, creating a creamy base that's
strained through fine mesh to achieve that signature silky texture. We add pure vanilla extract and just
the right amount of sugar, creating a perfectly balanced sweetness that's refreshing without being cloying.
The mixture is chilled until ice-cold, then served over ice for maximum refreshment.
What makes our horchata exceptional is our commitment to making it fresh daily and using traditional methods.
Unlike powdered mixes or shortcuts, we take the time to properly soak, blend, and strain each batch, resulting
in a drink that's creamy, aromatic, and full of authentic flavor. The natural sweetness of the rice combined
with warm cinnamon and fragrant vanilla creates a complex, satisfying taste that's both comforting and
refreshing. Horchata is the perfect companion to our spicy dishes – its cool, sweet creaminess provides a
soothing contrast to chiles and spices. Whether you're familiar with horchata or trying it for the first
time, our homemade version showcases this beloved Mexican beverage at its best. Dairy-free and naturally
sweet, it's a refreshing choice that everyone can enjoy.
