Maddcatt Vapors - Horchata


Horchata is a traditional Spanish beverage made from ground almonds, sesame seeds, barley, rice or tigernuts. In Spain, horchata is usually made with tigernuts, water and sugar, while in Latin America, horchata recipes vary by country. Some use water as a base and others use milk.  In Mexico horchata is made with rice, vanilla and cinnamon. In Honduras and El Salvador it is made from morro seeds, cocoa, cinnamon, nutmeg, tigernuts and vanilla. Some variations include peanuts, almonds and cashews as well. In Nicaragua horchata is usually made with cold milk, sugar, jicaro seeds, rice and spices. In Puerto Rico it is made with ground sesame seeds, water, sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon sticks, as well as with rice, ground almonds, coconut milk, allspice and rum on occasion. In Venezuela, horchata is made with sesame seeds, water and sugar.  They also have an alcoholic version which is made with fermented corn flour. The horchata served in Latin restaurants in the United States is usually made from rice.

Maddcatt Vapors e-juiceI won a bottle of Maddcatt Vapor's e-juice from CJStar while listening to FreakShowInc on Vaughn TV. I was instructed to go to Maddcatt's website and choose a flavor. OMG!  What a long list to choose from.  I decided I wanted something different.  I wanted something unique to vape as well as to review. There were several juices that fell into this category. I thought about it awhile and settled upon Horchata as I like the beverage.

Maddcatt's Horchata tastes like the real thing, meaning the type of horchata commonly served in the U.S. Not lacking in flavor, Horchata is sweet, creamy and rather complex. It has just the right amount of cinnamon and could pass for a rice pudding sprinkled with cinnamon on top.  It seems to be a creamy blend of rice, cinnamon and vanilla, all in the proper proportions. There may be subtle hints of additional spices as well, as it's rather warm and spicy, as well as cool and creamy.

I just realized, I haven't let this liquid steep.  It seems to be perfect right out of the bottle. This is one juice that I think will always be part of my personal e-juice collection.  If you like horchata or rice pudding with cinnamon on top, you might want to try a bottle of this juice.  It is delicious.
