The Mocha Spiked Horchata is a Novel Nightcaps original cocktail that was created as a variation of a similar recipe from Winter Drinks: 70 Essential Cold-Weather Cocktails by the editors of PUNCH. The original called for a rum or whiskey base with one listed in the description and another listed in the recipe itself, but this version calls for tequila because horchata is often associated with Spanish culture. It also adds in a few dashes of chocolate bitters to complement the coffee and cinnamon flavors.
Fill a lowball glass with cubed ice.
Add horchata, tequila, coffee liqueur, and bitters to lowball glass.
Using a bar spoon, stir for 5-10 seconds.
Garnish with ground cinnamon.
