Forget the gin and tonics or the vodka soda limes, because your dietary concerns have finally been answered! Allow us to introduce Licor 43 Horchata, a wholly plant-based creamy liqueur that is similar in texture to Baileys, but with an invigorating Spanish flair. And did we mention it’s vegan-friendly?!
This delicious gluten-free beverage features a vibrantly sweet Mediterranean flavour, layered with Valencian-grown superfood: the tiger nut. Despite its name, the tiger nut is the root of the cyperus esculentus plant (yellow nutsedge). The refreshing taste of tiger nuts work in harmony with the spices and citrus aromas of Licor 43 Horchata and finishes with a subtle floral palate.
On top of this, the vegan-friendly concoction has no lactose or milk protein, satisfying the craving for a creamy liqueur that is perfect for almost any tippler!
“Innovation has long lain at the heart of Licor 43. With Licor 43 Horchata, we wanted a delicious product in the cream liqueur category that also meets the growing consumer demand for lighter and non-dairy alternatives,” said Julian Fernandez, a global marketing and innovation director for spirits at Zamora Company.
