Halloween is right around the corner and you might be thinking of gathering with friends for a little trick-or-treat bash. I partnered up with Torani Syrups for a fun horchata bar idea that is a hit with both ghouls and goblins.
Everyone gets to “Pick Their Poison” if you will, adding a shot of their favorite flavor to a homemade horchata base. For adults I like to stock the bar with some dark rum as well—adults can handle a little actual poison every once in a while.
As far as the syrups go, Torani has so many to choose from, and sugar-free ones too if you’ve got some health conscious folks in your midst. For Halloween I like to stock my horchata bar with fall flavors. Some of my favorites include:
Have a fun and safe Halloween everyone!!

Pick Your Poison Horchata Bar for Halloween
Make this fun horchata bar that is a hit with kids and adults alike for this year's Halloween party. Using syrups means everyone can make their own flavor!
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup sliced almonds
- 1/2 cup long grain rice, like jasmine
- 2 cups boiling water
- 2 cups rice milk
- Your favorite Torani Syrup (I like to choose fall flavors like Brown Sugar Cinnamon, Buttered Rum, and Salted Caramel)
- Dark Rum, optional
- cinnamon sticks, optional
Instructions
- Combine almonds and rice in a blender. Add boiling water and let sit 15 minutes.
- Cover loosely with a paper towel and blend on high 1 minute, or until smooth. Strain into a pitcher and stir in rice milk. Chill until cold.
- To serve, place bottles of syrup, horchata, glasses, ice, rum (if using), and cinnamon sticks on the bar.
- Let your guests make their own horchata flavor by filling a glass with ice, filling with horchata, and adding a shot (about 1 tablespoon) of syrup and a shot of rum (for adults), stir to combine with a cinnamon stick.
