Hi ! I’m a french head bartender and I made my own Horchata at the bar. For this, I use dehydrated nutgrass tubers that I let soak for 24 hours after well washed them. Then I putt them in a blender with water and simple sirup (250g nutgrass tubers, 1000ml water, 150ml simple sirup). After blending everything, I strain it with tea towel. Keep it 2 days, not more !

Sorry - but there are some concerns: - you cannot call it by any means Pina Colada (not literally - but as cocktail name). It is not how our reality _should_ work... - the whole sherry thing cannot be really justified. Sherry barrel notes in whiskeys taste like dried fruits. Fino doesn’t taste at all like it. - Correlation does not imply causation. Only because apples contain malic acid it doesn’t mean that apple cider vinegar contains a lot of malic acid (it contains rather mostly acetic acid). + a hint: if you would use koji for your horchata, it could be very interesting (as the koji spores would convert the rice starch into sugars).

Awesome cocktail, Kevin! It still curdles for me though despite xantan gum. I've even increased it to 0.6g, incorporated it first in horchata and kept blending while adding ingredients. Even decreasing amount of shrub didn't help:( Are there any additional tips to keep it stable? I wonder if your also breaks ~1 min after pouring? Serving it over crushed ice made the cocktail last longer, but I really love your straight-up version.
@KevinKos

Hi Michael. We already talked on Instagram but I am putting my answer here since it might be helpful to someone else reading the comments. A: Thank you for trying this recipe. The separating part happened in my case as well but it wasn't happening so fast. Curdling occurs when mixing horchata with acids (pineapple and shrub) but this does not affect the taste however is visually unappealing. This is the reason I used a mug. Serving it over crushed ice could be helpful but in this case, you have to add that in the equation when mixing with ice since it will cause more dilution as you said. Maybe add less ice in a blender. The curing can happen with homemade orgeats as well. Do you have such an experience with orgeats too?

Horchata (orxata in Catalan) is originary from Spain, although in Spain you'll most likely find it made from tigernuts. It's rather different! I wonder how this would work with tigernut orxata instead of rice horchata.

Was intrigued by this cocktail and had some freshly made Horchata that a Catalonian friend bought here to Monaco so did this version of your Pina Colada and the tiger nuts in the Spanish Horchata give it an amazing earthy flavour. Maybe one day we can hope to see a tiger nut horchata featured in one of your cocktails? You don't need to make Horchata from scratch to have natural Horchata since it holds for over a week, just order some from Mon Orxata in Valencia.

My Singapore version of this using local ingredients… “Max coconut” (fresh coconut milk thinned with coconut water, blended with foraged coconut ‘flesh’, copra, home made pandan wine, infused with lightly smoked coconut skin & husk), “max pineapple” (fresh pineapple juice with pineapple skin syrup), “max lime” (juice of 3 kinds of limes blended with their zest and freshly picked kaffir lime leaf), Malaysian lemon rum from Yeo Buan Heng Liquor Shop (v. rare and might actually be an arak despite its name), blended with frozen coconut water, garnished with a pandan leaf holding up a ‘dried pineapple ladder ring’. Very rich, coconut water ice adds a very constant smooth background (almost like umami), complex yet round ingredient profiles, complements the climate nicely
