The world doesn’t make it particularly easy for vegans but if you’ve got a particular bent for cream-style liqueurs then Licor 43 is in your corner with its Horchata.
Created using tiger nuts (which are not actually nuts but rather tubers), this delicious gluten-free beverage features a vibrantly sweet Mediterranean flavour. This deliciously light, creamy Spanish liqueur, takes its inspiration from the traditional horchata recipe from Valencia and infused with Licor 43 Original. The refreshing taste of tiger nuts works harmoniously with the spices and citrus aromas for a vegan-friendly liquid that has no lactose or milk protein.
“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.
“This delicate liqueur is the ultimate indulgence to enjoy with family and friends during their after-meal moments,” Fernandez continued. “Its gluten-free, vegan, nut-free formula means that all can enjoy.”
The tiger nut is one of the earliest domesticated tubers and it has been a highly prized food since ancient Egypt. Tiger nut cultivation stretched from Egypt across North Africa to reach Spain in the VIII (eighth) century A.D. and it found its heartland in Valencia, where the soil and sun are perfect for its growth. Today, the tiger nut is considered a “superfood” with multiple beneficial properties.
The brand also features its “Did I mention I’m vegan?” tagline as an “unapologetic marketing approach”, Zamora Company said, to further communicate the credentials at the core of the brand. At 16% ABV, the refreshing blend of fruit and spices brings a soft touch of traditional Spanish flavours and creaminess to cocktails without the guilt.
A perfect way to enjoy Licor 43 Horchata is with a little Italian sunshine in the form of Limoncello. A refreshing after-dinner cocktail, Limoncello and Licor 43 Horchata combine beautifully.
