Licor 43 Horchata
Licor 43 Original meets horchata, the ice-cold tigernut drink from Valencia. Creamy but plant-based, light and Mediterranean: tigernut, cinnamon and citrus, at 16%. Best enjoyed straight from the fridge.
A Valencian summer drink with a splash of 43
Horchata is a traditional drink from Valencia, made from tigernuts, the small tubers known as chufa in Spanish. Licor 43 Horchata is a fusion of this traditional horchata with Licor 43 Original. The vanilla and citrus of the yellow bottle are still recognizable, but the result is light, creamy and silky smooth.
At 16% alcohol, it's half as strong as the Original, which is 31%. It's creamy but plant-based: its creaminess comes from tigernut horchata, not cream. That makes it less heavy and sweet than most cream liqueurs: the tigernut adds a nutty note, the cinnamon brings warmth, and the citrus keeps it fresh. That's why it's best enjoyed ice-cold, neat or with coffee.

How to drink Licor 43 Horchata
This liqueur is at its best as a refresher: chilled, over ice, and with coffee if you like.
Ice-cold from the freezer
Put the bottle in the freezer for an hour and pour 40 ml into a small, chilled liqueur glass. The cold makes it syrupy and brings out the tiger nut beautifully.
